Increase fossil fuels, but emphasize alternatives as well
Energy independence from foreign sources means that America's must invest both in increasing conventional domestic sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas but also must emphasize new technologies that make
those resources more efficiently used and must drive toward the use of alternative energy technologies such as solar, wind, thermal depolymerization of organic waste, and biofuels.

America has potential to be renewable energy powerhouse
America also has the potential to become a powerhouse for renewable energy research and the deployment of such technologies. Our country has enormous natural solar and wind advantages that we need to utilize.
Not only will that approach attract high-paying jobs, but it will also reduce long-term energy costs and preserve our environment.

Build Keystone XL for biofuels; also regulate fracking
Q: Do you support building the Keystone XL pipeline?A: Yes.
Q: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support increased regulations on the hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") industry?
A: Yes. We need to orchestrate an intelligent approach to address our energy and environmental issues. They need to be considered together rather than discussed as if they were independent of one another.
With respect to the Keystone Pipeline, we need to look beyond the near-term and consider its potential repurposing in the future (i.e., as a potential pipeline for the transport of biofuels, etc.).
