Chris Wallace to Pruitt: Aren’t You and Trump Protecting the Horse and Buggy Business as Cars Come Online?

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Mr. Pruitt, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing? I want to put up some, I’m going to say, surprising statistics. Take a look at this — the U.S. now employs more than double the number of people in the solar industry than it does in coal. Aren’t you and the President talking about protecting the horse and buggy business just as cars come online?"
PRUITT: "Absolutely not, because as I just indicated, we need coal, we need hydro — we need solid hydrocarbon stored on-site at utility companies across this country to address something: attacks on our grid, attacks on infrastructure. If we have peaked demand needs, you want a diversity of fuels that generate electricity."
