2020 AR Senatorial race: on Energy & Oil


Dan Whitfield: Climate change is real; make Arkansas leader in clean energy

Climate change is real. Period. A republican Mayor in Texas was able to get his constituents to agree on changing to a 100% renewable energy source and has since then created safer jobs with less hours and higher pay, lowered the electric bill of residents to less than $20/month, while lowering emissions. We can follow this brave republican's model and make Arkansas the leader in clean energy. Let's keep our Natural State the most beautiful in the nation.

Dan Whitfield: Climate change exists even if we pretend it doesn't

To make things worse this cascading effect will continue to hasten.

We have a mere 12 years to make drastic changes before we reach the point of no return. I am not saying the world is going to end, but the world as we know it is now changing. Our children will suffer dire droughts and great storm to the like's mankind has never faced.

Josh Mahony: Climate change is man-made

Josh Mahony, the Democratic Party candidate, agrees that while the planet has seen ups and downs in climate change over the millennia, this recent round is indeed man-made.

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers, thinks the jury is still out on who is causing it.
