(Rick Bowmer | AP) About 25 protesters are escorted by police after interrupting a energy conference where U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry spoke Thursday, May 30, 2019, in Salt Lake City. Perry says the Trump administration is committed to making fossil fuels cleaner rather than imposing "draconian" regulations on oil, gas and coal. Perry made his remarks during a speech at an energy conference in Salt Lake City hosted by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert.
