Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, said Friday plans to dramatically increase energy production and create 1.2 million jobs, pointing to federal regulations, said strangling the economy.
Perry's announcement in a steelworks in an American suburb near Pittsburgh came as governor of Texas is trying to consolidate his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, after a series of shows and entertainment discussion removed from position sensitive pre-runner .
Perry said that if elected in November 2012, has signed a series of implementing the provisions of the first 100 days of his government to withdraw the federal standards and open up new areas for oil and gas.
"We are standing next boom in the USA - energy," said Perry. "The best way to give our economy a shot in the arm is the deployment of American ingenuity to harness the power of the United States. But we can not do this if the bureaucrats of the environment is telling us to go."
Perry repeal the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency emissions responsible for global warming and to remove all existing and planned programs of EPA to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Many Republicans in Congress would support, but it would be difficult to reverse the decision of the Supreme Court in 2007, the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases.
Perry sprinkled his speech with a severe denunciation of Democratic President Barack Obama, who said he is responsible for the "regulation activist" who have made it more difficult to extract energy resources. Obama has favored green technologies that do not as many jobs as promised, he said.
"His energy policy is dictated by the concerns of activists of his party, my politics are driven by the concerns of American workers out of work," said Perry.
Obama re-election campaign responded quickly.
"The energy policy of the Governor Perry is not the way to win in the future, directly from the past - Doubling of the limited resources that do not have a plan to promote innovation, or the country's transition to clean energy economy," Campaign spokesman Ben Labolt said.
It was the first of two speeches Perry has outlined proposals to reduce the rate of 9.1 percent U.S. unemployment, the main issue in 2012 campaign. His second speech, expected around October 25, is to focus on tax reform, reducing the burden of U.S. debt and social reform.
Perry remained behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and businessman Herman Cain in polls of Republican voters.
However, it has strong support from many conservatives and raised $ 17 million in the third quarter of Romney is a $ 14 million. This ensures that the well-funded campaign to fight early states Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
ALASKA, Keystone
Perry opened several American oil and gas exploration is currently prohibited, including the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and the mid-Atlantic.
Obama has announced plans to expand oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. But so far, the most progress has been a problem for the U.S. dependence on foreign oil is to adopt tougher standards on vehicle fuel efficiency.
Perry said he would be open for energy production Refuge in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife, long a battleground between environmentalists and energy companies, and said thus able to create 120,000 jobs.
He also promised to initiate a study of the offshore Beaufort and Chukchi seas in the northern and western coasts of Alaska, saying that would create 55 000 jobs.
Construction of Keystone XL pipeline to transport Canadian oil to refineries of crude oil costs, America would create 20 000 jobs, Perry said. The tube is attached to the bureaucracy of the United States, and opposed by many environmental reasons. The U.S. State Department said that the tube would only add about 7,000 jobs.
Perry is committed to harness the full potential of the field of natural gas Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. Open the federal and private lands for exploration in states like Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Colorado and Utah
