"President Trump in his State of the Union address last night claimed credit for making the United States the world's leading oil and natural gas producer but offered no major new energy proposals or environmental protection initiatives.
"Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far," the president said.
"With the tremendous progress we have made over the past three years, America is now energy independent, and energy jobs, like so many elements of our country, are at a record high," he said."
