2022 CO Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Eli Bremer: We must maintain and increase our production capabilities

We understand that protecting our environment is multi-faceted and often best understood by local or state communities rather than federal one-size-fits-all mandates. We need common sense environmental solutions that actually work rather than the window dressing and virtue signaling policies that exist today. We must maintain and increase our production capabilities in the United States and stop outsourcing them to countries with lower cleanliness standards and higher carbon emissions.

Joe O`Dea: No government subsidies for transition to renewable energy

"We're gonna move away from fossil fuels, (but) I don't know that we're going to it the next 100 years," he said. O'Dea said he doesn't support government subsidies to help hasten the renewable energy transition.

Q: Do you support federal funding for the development of alternative energy, including nuclear reactors, which you called "green energy" in the Vote Smart answer?

A: Hanks cited "Very limited funding, for purposes of national security research," and "clean, green, safe nuclear is an answer to many of our problems." No change, he added Monday.
