2024 DE Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Lisa Blunt Rochester: Investing in energy efficiency helps reduce carbon emissions

U.S. Senator Tom Carper and U.S. Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester (both D-Del.) joined U.S. Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm today to announce the one millionth American home upgraded with energy efficiency improvements through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program. 

"The cleanest form of energy is the energy we save and never have to use. Funding to make our homes more energy-efficient is good for people's wallets and good for the planet," said Senator Carper

"We know that investing in energy efficiency is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions and help fight the climate crisis," said Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester. "That's why the ENERGY STAR program is such an important tool to help Delawareans weatherize and make their homes more energy efficient. These are the kinds of critical investments that President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal continues to make throughout our country."

Tom Carper: Cleanest energy is the energy we save and never have to use

U.S. Senator Tom Carper and U.S. Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester (both D-Del.) joined U.S. Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm today to announce the one millionth American home upgraded with energy efficiency improvements through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program. 

"The cleanest form of energy is the energy we save and never have to use. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act makes historic investments in modernizing our infrastructure, including funding to make our homes more energy-efficient and resilient to climate change. That's good for people's wallets and good for the planet," said Senator Carper

"Investing in energy efficiency is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions," said Rep. Blunt Rochester. "That's why the ENERGY STAR program is such an important tool to help Delawareans weatherize and make their homes more energy efficient."

Eric Hansen: Follow all-of-the-above energy strategy, market solutions

Climate change is real, and it's happening now. We need to pursue market-based solutions via tax credits and competition to lower the cost of energy and allow companies to pursue innovation so these industries can take off. The top-down approach of mandate after mandate leaves farmers, consumers, and others paying more. An all-of-the-above energy strategy that lets the market work will succeed quicker.
