From StateImpact Pennsylvania:
Texas Governor Rick Perry rolled out an energy policy he claims will create more than 1 million new jobs, during an appearance in Pittsburgh today.
The Republican presidential candidate’s plan boils down to this: ramp up domestic production by expanding off-shore drilling, opening up protected land like Alaska’s Artic National Wildlife Refuge, and scaling back the Environmental Protection Agency’s oversight roles.
The Post-Gazette’s Erich Schwartzel, who edits the paper’s Pipeline website, covered the event. He spoke to StateImpact Pennsylvania’s Scott Detrow about Perry’s plan.
