Chet Culver on Energy & Oil

Democrat

Create an Iowa Power Fund to research and development

We have already led the nation with ethanol and biodiesel. Now we must maintain that leadership. With the eyes of the world upon us, we must prepare for the next generation energy economy. We will create an Iowa Power Fund to invest in and attract cutting edge research and development. This will ensure we can lead the way not only in alternative fuels but also in biomass, geothermal, wind and solar energy. Source: Governor’s Inaugural Speech , Jan 8, 2007

Move agriculture from feeding the world to fueling the world

I believe Iowa has already proven that it has the ingenuity and the ability to build an agricultural industry that could feed the world. Many of the next generation of good jobs and industries that we want to bring to Iowa and help expand in Iowa are those alternative energy and renewable energy industries that will some day -- fuel the world.
