Perry: Trump doesn’t need Paris to advance ‘clean energy’

Published June 27, 2017 1:00am ET



The Trump administration intends to define what it means by “clean energy” during a week-long series of discussions, media appearances and discussions with businesses to explain its ideas for an America First energy plan, according to Energy Secretary Rick Perry.

Perry told reporters Monday that “Energy Week” will be used to explain a term the administration refers to as “energy dominance,” which will have a lot to do with exporting natural gas from fracking, but also will include how the administration intends to advance clean energy through its support of advanced technology and nuclear power.
