What I am talking about is about taking the strategic steps necessary to making the United States the energy dominant force on the planet within five to 10 years by using our super-abundance of fossil fuel resources. Thanks to the amazing made-in-America technological breakthroughs of the last decade -- including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to get at shale oil and gas reserves -- the U.S. now has at least 150 years of oil and natural gas resources on top of 500 years of coal.
Consider what has happened in less than a decade with oil production. In 2008 the U.S. produced about 5 million barrels a day. We hit 8.7 million in 2014 and could double that by 2025.
