When the president is making it harder to mine coal, to use coal, to take advantage of our gas resources, to make it harder to get our oil resources - all those things combine to make our cost of energy higher than it needs to be, and it drives away enterprises from this country. it sends it to places that have lower-cost energy.

More From Mitt Romney

Today, natural gas now outstrips coal as the leading provider of electricity in america. if this is as big as people believe it is, natural gas will soon be powering trucks and marine ships. maybe even standard commercial cars that people use at home through compressed natural gas, other gas to liquids. the potential is there for more energy independence by america and a reliance on cleaner fuel - natural gas emits half as much as coal, in terms of carbon emissions. that's a real bounty.

Our country has suffered from an on-again, off-again energy policy that has failed to get us to energy independence. as president obama has said, we need a comprehensive energy plan for the country that includes conventional resources like oil and gas, but that also takes advantage of wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and other renewable resources.

It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. a few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use. you can take a pipe and put a little coal in it, close it up, heat it and light the gas that comes out of the stem, but that is not introducing gas lighting. i'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in new york that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use.

The horn of dilemma of energy politics is what really drives concern about this energy in this country, at the gut level for most people, is high gas prices. and if you really want to fight global warming and try to reduce our carbon emissions, the cleanest, easiest, most rational way to do it would to make the price of gas even higher through very stiff gas prices.

In the near future, despite the development of alternative energy, when you look at the economics and environmental standards, then there's no other source of primary energy in the world than natural gas. well, perhaps there is nuclear energy but there are also a lot of issues there and there are opponents of nuclear energy. gas doesn't have those opponents. but there is a country that is, obviously, the world leader in gas reserves. that's our country, the russian federation.

How did we make the transition from using wood to using coal, from using coal to using oil, from using oil to using natural gas? how in god's name did we make that transition without a federal energy agency?
