2014 Georgia Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Terry Branstad: Expand and protect American energy resources

Jack Hatch, the Democratic candidate for governor, says it is "disturbing" that Governor Branstad returned a federal grant that was to be used to find ways to help the solar energy industry grow in Iowa. "Not to be controlled by the special interests of the utility companies that pressured his department to return the million dollar grant," Hatch says. "That in itself shows the interests of this governor, not so much in really renewable energy, but protecting the larger corporations at the expense of the smaller producers and the individual homeowners that could benefit dramatically from this."

A spokesman for Governor Branstad issued a written statement: "Jack Hatch can continue to bloviate from the sidelines, but all Iowans know that the Branstad-Reynolds administration has fought to expand and protect American energy resources so that Iowans have cheaper costs at the pump, their homes and their businesses," said Tommy Schultz, Branstad-Reynolds communications director.
