BOSTON — Fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas are as cutting-edge as buggy whips were a hundred years ago, a Democratic candidate for governor of Massachusetts said.
Bob Massie told a crowd of anti-fossil fuel activists at a rally Tuesday that the state's Pension Reserves Investment Management Board has done a disservice to its fiduciary responsibility by continuing to invest in companies that produce fossil fuels because they will soon be outdated — just as the buggy whip at the dawn of the automobile.
