People go out; they take risk; they find a way to develop resources that were previously not accessible, not available because of technological reasons.

From Rex Tillerson

Energy independence and energy security are really two different things.

From Rex Tillerson

We go out, we explore, we take risk. And our successes have to pay for all that.

From Rex Tillerson

We've recognized that natural gas would be the fastest-growing of the conventional fuels: oil, natural gas, coal. And so, we see the important role that natural gas will play globally and, more importantly, the important role it will play in the U.S. in terms of meeting future energy demand.

From Rex Tillerson

We have been blessed in many respects with the explosion of the development of shale gas resources here in North America. It's both U.S. and in Canada.

From Rex Tillerson

The fact is the U.S. has enormous resource potential available to it.

From Rex Tillerson

When coal came into the picture, it took about 50 or 60 years to displace timber. Then, crude oil was found, and it took 60, 70 years, and then natural gas. So it takes 100 years or more for some new breakthrough in energy to become the dominant source. Most people have difficulty coming to grips with the sheer enormity of energy consumption.

From Rex Tillerson

There are still hundreds of millions, billions of people living in abject poverty around the world. They need electricity. They need electricity they can count on, that they can afford. They need fuel to cook their food on that's not animal dung.

From Rex Tillerson

You'd save millions upon millions of lives by making fossil fuels available to parts of the world that don't have it.

From Rex Tillerson

There are a thousand ways you can be told 'no' in this country.
