2016 ID Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Jerry Sturgill: Energy law practice: finance & privatize electric utilities

21 years ago, Jerry left [the NYC financial law firm where he was a partner] and, with his young family, returned home to Idaho so his children could be closer to their grandparents. He became a partner in the Boise office of Stoel Rives Law Firm and led its Idaho corporate practice. As a member of the firm's energy practice group, he worked on the acquisition and financing of power projects and privatized electrical utilities in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, South America and Australia.

Jerry Sturgill: Do more to reduce carbon emissions

Sturgill said he would focus on bringing home large budgets for federally funded programs and institutions such as Idaho National Laboratory. "I think INL is a treasure, and we should be bringing in as much as we can," he said.

Sturgill also said he thinks the country needs to do more to reduce carbon emissions in response to global climate change, and he thinks INL has a key role to play. "They are doing the research to find the kind of technology we need for clean energy," he said.

Marvin Pro-Life Richardson: Splitting atoms murders atoms; no nuclear power

Splitting atoms murders atoms. The result is radioactive waste that cannot be dealt with. When mankind defies natural law he gets deadly side affects. God does not split atoms. If you say the Sun is nuclear explosions, then why is sunlight not deadly like radioactive waste. Man poisons himself everyday by refining and concentrating the elements of the earth in defiance of natural law.
