Fox Business 2015 GOP primary debate: on Energy & Oil
Jeb Bush:
Economic growth pays for environmental clean-up
We've had a 10% reduction in carbon emissions. High growth is the path to lower carbon, and more jobs. As Governor of the State of Florida, we created the largest land purchasing programs, and environment clean-up programs because we
had a growing economy. Our revenues were growing at 4.4%. It allowed for resources to be able to protect the natural system.

John Kasich:
20,000 jobs from fracking plus 300,000 other jobs
DONALD TRUMP [to Kasich]: All I can say is, you're lucky in Ohio that you struck oil. That is for one thing.KASICH: In the state of Ohio, we have grown 347,000 jobs. Our unemployment is half of what it was. Our fracking industry, energy industry may
have contributed 20,000, but if Mr. Trump understood that the real jobs come in the downstream, not in the upstream, but in the downstream. And that's where we're going to get our jobs. But Ohio is diversified.

Rand Paul:
Repeal energy regulations like Clean Power Act
The first thing I would do as president is repeal regulations including the Clean Power Act. We need to balance keeping the environment clean and the economy. What we really need is somebody that understands that we do need energy of all forms,
and that means we will have solar, and wind, and hydro, but we will still have coal, and we still will have natural gas. We want to free up the energy sector, and let people produce, let them drill, let them explore.
