RICK PERRY: Well, you obviously had a guest on that's right smack dab in the middle of one of the most important ones, and that's Alaska, and the state of Texas is the other.

And we should be using it because if anyone thinks this energy is not going to be used around the world, they're wrong. And again, I go back to these that would run America to the ditch on the issue of climate and shutting down the fossil fuel industry be damned what it does to you economically or otherwise.
