Jon Keyser: Energy security=national security; all-of-the-above policy

As a veteran, Jon believes energy security = national security. With every step we take toward energy security and independence, we help ensure Colorado families can grow and prosper.

Like any sound investment portfolio, we need to make sure we have a diverse energy portfolio, which includes safely and responsibly developing our natural resources and utilizing renewable energy sources. We need to make room for innovators and entrepreneurs to spark an energy revolution that will help ensure our safety and security.

Colorado has a large role to play in putting the United States on the path to energy security and independence. As a former roughneck working on an oil and gas rig on the Western Slope, Jon has firsthand experience with how critical the energy industry is to Colorado's economy.

As a US Senator, Jon will fight for a true all-of-the-above energy policy and advocate for the national security and economic security advantages that energy independence will bring to the US.

Peg Littleton: Supports all-of-the above energy policy

I have and will continue to support an all-of-the above energy policy. I will protect traditional fuels while supporting progress and innovation in wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear and other sources of sustainable power. As a commissioner for Colorado's most populous county, I voted for wind power and solar gardens, and to minimize onerous regulations of oil exploration in a manner that vigilantly protected the water supply.

As part of my dedication to job growth and affordable energy for households and businesses, I would support responsible efforts to revive the Keystone XL pipeline.

Ryan Frazier: Embrace American energy independence

We can achieve 4% economic growth by creating millions of better paying jobs by fixing our tax code and embracing American energy independence. Opportunity for all.

Tim Neville: EPA's war on oil, gas and coal kills jobs

The federal government should not impose energy choices on the states through regulatory force or economic coercion. I believe in an `all of the above` approach. Picking winners and losers and overregulation ends up raising energy costs, having a negative impact on hard working families, with the hardest hit being the poor. The EPA's war on proven energy sources like oil, gas and coal kills jobs and cripples entire communities.
