Energy Secretary Rick Perry characterized the Trump administrations energy agenda as a world-changing development that spreads freedom around the globe.
Perry framed exports of fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal as a central part of Trumps Energy Dominance agenda, in which the administration is aiming to dramatically increase the domestic production of fossil fuels.
The United States is not just exporting energy, were exporting freedom, Perry said on Fox Businesss Mornings with Maria in an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Were exporting to our allies in Europe the opportunity to truly have a choice of where do you buy your energy from. Thats freedom. And that kind of freedom is priceless.

The only way it can be considered "priceless" is in the unmeasured cost to the environment and the additional climate change it will cause.
Rick Perry was right about one thing. It was reported that he thought the role of the Energy Secretary was to be the "global ambassador for the American oil and gas industry ". He was seriously wrong at the time but apparently that is what the Energy Secretary does now.
