2020 NC Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Holly Grange: Make strides in renewable energy, be stewards of resources

We have a God given responsibility to protect our coasts, our forests, our waterways, our mountains and other natural resources in North Carolina. I believe we can work together to continue making strides in renewable energy and being good stewards of our beautiful state.

Holly Grange: Climate change exists; not sure if it's all manmade

Climate change does exist. Personally, and from my research, I'm not sure that that is all manmade climate change, but climate change definitely does exist. And if scientific studies have determined that sea levels are rising, that's something that we need to deal with, for whatever reason they may be rising. Especially with our defense and especially with our delicate natural resources that we have here in southeastern North Carolina.

Holly Grange: Offshore oil exploration can be done safely

I think we can safely explore offshore. From what I understand, though, there's a moratorium on any type of progress in that direction off of our coast. It's not anything we need to deal with at this moment, but exploration can be done safely. I'm not saying we need to go beyond that, but we can't even do that right now.
