Louisiana Sen. David Vitter says President Obama’s speech on energy was just restating the same policy he’s always been pushing. He also says Obama has been painfully slow in approving new drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico and that is hurting our economy. But what is Vitter’s long-term plan? What would his 3-D approach to energy production include? Where would new offshore exploration take place? What about on land?

We discuss all these questions with Louisiana Sen. David Vitter.
