2024 AZ Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Kari Lake: War on clean-burning oil & natural gas is counterproductive

Waging a war on clean-burning oil and natural gas is counterproductive and unrealistic. Long-term, our energy future will come from new, safe, and clean nuclear and reactor technologies. Clean, plentiful natural gas and oil are the bridges to that future. Kari Lake will vote to open our oil reserves to exploration, cut prices at the pump and on your utility bill, and expand exports once again.

Kari Lake: Everything should be on the table to use, cheap and reliable

Lake: We need to bring back and start building the Keystone XL pipeline and continue to drill, baby, drill. I want to look at all sources of energy. The Democrats want us to be reliant on foreign energy. Foreign energy with the Middle East and Venezuela. They did not want us to have our own energy. Everything should be on the table to use, cheap and reliable.

Gallego: We first have to accept that climate change is happening. We prepare by having a resilient grid. We need to bring in more energy, and that will have to be nuclear. We can continue the growth that we have in Arizona the manufacturing and residential to make sure we can beat that.
