"The "all the above" energy strategy I announced a few years ago is
working, and today America is closer to energy independence than we have
been in decades. (Applause.) One of the reasons why is natural
gas. If extracted safely, it's the bridge fuel that can power our
economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change.
(Applause.) ... Congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations
that shift more cars and trucks from foreign oil to American natural
gas. (Applause.) Meanwhile, my administration will keep working
with the industry to sustain production and jobs growth while
strengthening protection of our air, our water, our communities. And
while we're at it, I'll use my authority to protect more of our pristine
federal lands for future generations. (Applause.) ... And taken together, our energy policy is creating jobs and leading to a
cleaner, safer planet. Over the past eight years the United States has
reduced our total carbon pollution more than any other nation on Earth.
(Applause.)"
