2018 MD Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Arvin Vohra: Green energy has advantages; but let market handle it

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Prioritize green energy"?

A: Support. The free market does this; government should not be involved at all. Cell phones, for example, use low power screens, which extends battery life. Green energy already has advantages. I oppose government involvement; the free market handles this better.

Sam Faddis: Develop domestic coal, gas and oil

The number one objective of the US in the short term should be energy independence. This has major economic and national security implications. To that end I support fully the development of domestic coal, gas and oil. I also think we should recognize that we are moving inexorably toward the day when fossil fuels will be exhausted and that it would be prudent for us to encourage the development and deployment of alternative energy sources when economically viable.
