GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry released his plan for job creation Friday.  Speaking at a campaign event at U.S. Steel Corp. outside Pittsburgh, the Texas governor said increasing oil production is key to stimulating the economy.

Perry wants to drill for oil along the Atlantic coast, in Alaska and on federal land in the west.  He used Friday’s speech to accuse President Obama of being in bed with environmental groups.

According to the Washington Post, Perry would also “oppose tax credits and benefits that favor specific kinds of energy, a rebuke of the Obama’s administration push to incentivize wind power and other alternative energy sources.”

Perry claims he has a strong track record of creating jobs, something his fellow GOP candidates have disputed, and that his jobs plan will create one million U.S. jobs.

“America needs jobs, America needs energy, America needs a made-in-America energy revolution, and I’ve got that longtime track record of experience and success in this critical area,” Perry said.

Perry, a one-time frontrunner, has seen a serious dip in polling numbers over the past few weeks and is now faced with the task of trying to reinvigorate his campaign.
