Jeb Bush supporters listen as the Republican presidential candidate, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to outline his energy policy during a visit to Rice Energy, an oil and gas company based in Canonsburg, Pa., Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2015.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s energy levels have been an ongoing topic of conversation during the presidential campaign — probably much more than Bush would prefer.

Rival Donald Trump has repeatedly needled Bush for bringing a “low energy” to the campaign trail, even posting a fake advertisement on Instragram offering Bush as a sleeping aide.

Well, there’s at least one thing that amps up Bush’s energy levels, and that’s … energy.

Bush was fired up Tuesday afternoon when he rolled out his energy platform during a visit to a natural gas-drilling company in Western Pennsylvania.

“I feel like I’m at the pulpit, like a tent revival meeting,” Bush said at one point, while making the case to approve the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, eliminate the domestic oil export ban, and scale back federal drilling regulations, among other steps. Click here to read more from NPR.
