Study says treaty harms minorities in energy debate
A commissioned report by six minority groups funded by a coal industry group warns a UN treaty to cut greenhouse gases would reduce earnings for 25 million Black and Hispanic workers by 10 percent and put hundreds of thousands out of work. The study, tied to the Center for Energy and Economic Development, argues the accord could force cost cuts and plant shifts to countries with looser rules, amid broader opposition and limited ratification prospects.
