Romney makes clear energy will be front and center this fall

Mitt Romney made clear in accepting the Republican presidential nomination that his strategy for the fall will boil down to a single, four-letter word: jobs.

"Lots of jobs," as Romney said for emphasis Thursday night in the finale of the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

And he cemented energy policy and environmental regulation as a cornerstone of his efforts this fall to differentiate his approach from that of President Barack Obama.  “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family," the Massachusetts Republican said in a line that captured some of the biggest cheers and jeers of the night.
