There is much to love about the energy plan Texas Gov. Rick Perry released last week. He proposes an immediate moratorium on new regulation, expanded energy exploration on federal lands, and the creation of 1.2 million jobs in the process. A fact sheet distributed by the Perry campaign said he plans to: “Dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency in its existing state, and rebuild an organization that addresses issues requiring national or regional solutions rather than state-specific issues.”

And according to National Review, he plans to do most of this “without going through Congress.”
