Politicians always say they wanna reduce America's dependence on foreign oil would hear them forever but who's really going to do to get -- it all comes down to policies enacted here at home.

And both presidential candidates have very different ideas on how they pull it off.

Now governor Romney will say he's got an all the above plan basically is planning -- To let the oil companies write the energy policies.

So he's got -- oil and gas park but he doesn't have the clean energy.

I will fight to create more energy in this country to get America energy secure and part of that is bringing in a pipeline of oil from Canada.

Taking advantage of the oil and coal we have here drilling -- -- -- Alaska drilling offshore Virginia where the -- wanted those things would get us the energy we need.

Enjoy yourself Pennsylvania State funded national and natural gas that is my answer is the secretary Pennsylvania's department of environmental protection -- Cesar.

Thank you very much -- when you hear -- to a different opinions on this what do you think.

Well I know we're doing here in Pennsylvania that is work developing our massive domestic.

Energy resources.

Well with the state taking charge of that.

And a sound and protective manner and were diverse energy portfolio we truly are in Pennsylvania.

All of the above and bottom line is energy equals jobs and we've got an energy juggernaut and -- jobs juggernaut right here pencil thing.

I -- in New York we benefit so much -- the upstate New York is so depressed they got fracking capabilities but they keep pretending to investigate and evaluate and nothing happens we'll do what fracking is John -- it's a flat out revolution.

-- 40000 jobs created in your state one million jobs created in the country.

And on track for almost four million in fracking by 2035.

So that it has nothing to do with the federal government everything you do with state and entrepreneurs who see potential -- natural gas correct.

Well you hit the nail on the head it's all about the states.

Exercising stewardship and leadership.

And right now the federal government is trying to interfere on many many levels.

In ten different federal departments ten different federal agencies credible.

Trying to get a piece of regulating hydraulic fracturing that's unprecedented it's never happened before the states have always been and -- a position to regulate fracturing within their territory.

Are you analogous to what's going on North Dakota and would you say because north -- also having a boom right.

But very very correct and very interdependent as a matter of fact the refineries in Pennsylvania in Philly in my -- town that were saved.

-- -- in large part because of higher horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing of Spock and crew -- shell formation North Dakota.

So we have the possibility right here in America now if we make the right decisions to become.

Energy secure and fuel a energy superpower moving forward.

Like this great story not often told despite Matt Damon's propaganda movie that's out about fracking my -- -- thanks so much.

Thank you.
