On Energy & Oil: Energy dominance requires more exports of coal, oil & gas

The next step, according to Perry, is to begin working on the pipelines and other infrastructure necessary to get the oil to market. "It's essential that America build the infrastructure to deliver this record supply," he said. The Energy Information Administration recently announced that the US "is now the largest crude oil producer in the world."

Perry explained that it is his job to promote the president's "energy dominance" agenda, including increasing US exports of oil, coal, natural gas, and advanced energy technologies. Exports "are up across the board, whether it's coal, oil, natural gas," Perry said. "And I think we are just getting started."
