WASHINGTON (AP) — Energy Secretary Rick Perry says the Trump administration is pushing for increased exports of natural gas and other energy sources as its seeks U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market.
Perry said he and President Donald Trump have offered a “comforting” message to energy companies seeking to export liquefied natural gas: “If you meet the rules, here’s your permit.”
Perry also touted increased U.S. oil and coal exports to boost energy production and jobs.
Perry said Tuesday he has not seen a widely expected department study into the reliability of the electric grid. A draft version leaked to news outlets indicates that renewable power and federal regulations have had little impact on reliability.
Perry said he’s among those “breathlessly waiting to get my hands on it.”
Energy dominance will come from renewables.
Unfortunately, we have a group of stuck-in-the-past-century old white men running stuff.
They don’t understand that true energy dominance in the future will be renewable and not fossil fuel based.
ETA: @zsak beat me by a hair!
How about the concept of saving US natural gas resources for future US needs, rather than depleting them as quickly as possible by exporting it for a quick profit?
Then we have an array of energy resources, including renewables, for the future?
The smart glasses ain’t working, Rick.
Maybe he should go back to something a bit less intellectually challenging, like “Dancing With the Stars.”
Compassionate message for energy dominance.
Got it.
