Moore Capito: The solution is to return our country to energy independence

West Virginia has always powered this great country by applying our innovative thinking to our vast natural resources. We are the energy experts and always have been. Our energy industry constantly adapts and re-invents to generate power that meets our needs - all while providing thousands of jobs to West Virginians. Our energy is not the problem, it's the solution to return our country to energy independence. Let's qet out of the business of telling the experts how to do their job.

Mark Mullet: Make sure climate change policies aren't unaffordable

Mark knows when it comes to fighting climate change we have to do it in a way that keeps Washington affordable. Mark knows as the chair of the capital budget in the Senate that we can honor all of the climate change investments made this year while substantially lowering the price of gas. Mark knows we need to set an example that other states can follow, which means we have to make sure our climate change policies don't make Washington unaffordable for the average family.

Climate change poses undeniable threats, ushering in intensified storms and elevated sea levels, but North Carolina is ready to lead in conservation and green energy.

Mike Braun: No transition to technologies that can't meet energy demands

Indiana should embrace an energy policy that unleashes the prosperity of our state's abundant natural resources and embraces new technologies that can deliver clean and affordable energy. Mike Braun will stand up to those that are forcing a transition to technologies that can't meet energy demands, risk rolling blackouts, mean higher costs and will lead to lost jobs for thousands of Hoosiers.

Phil Lyman: Utah is already a leader in oil, gas, coal, and uranium

Utah has an abundance of mineral wealth. As our nation's energy demands increase, Utah should be poised to provide solutions. Utah is already a leader in oil, gas, coal, and uranium. The only thing preventing us from having a much larger impact is the federal administrative state. Enough is enough! It is time lead, not follow.

Andy Wells: Believe your own eyes at gas pump; economy not recovering

Gas Prices: Newsmax just reported, "The national average for gas prices stood at $3.83 a gallon last Friday -- about 30 cents higher than that seen a month ago, according to motor club AAA."

At the same time, politicians are telling us the economy is recovering.

Who can you believe? Politicians? Or your own eyes at the gas pump?

Brian King: All-of-the-above policy provides reliable, affordable energy

Utah's measured, all-of-the-above energy policy has powered Utah for decades by providing some of the most reliable and affordable energy in the country. We've proven that Utah is best fit for managing our energy, not the federal government.

Learn about our efforts to apply common sense solutions and push back on federal regulatory overreach that threatens our ability to provide power to our state, fuel our economy, and maintain a high quality of life for the people of Utah.

Merrill Piepkorn: Consider all of our renewable resources, including solar

The North Dakota Legislature passed a road tax for EVs in 2021, Piepkorn pointed out, so drivers are paying their fair share in lieu of the gas tax paid at the pumps. "When our universities come forward with new ideas, we should listen. That's what the Industrial Commission should be looking for--new ideas. We need to consider all of our renewable resources, including solar. That is the leadership that the Governor of North Dakota ought to provide on the Commission," he said.

Peter Duval: Vermont has fallen behind in meeting weak climate goals

I am running because Red & Blue teams are not getting the job done. Vermont has fallen behind in meeting weak climate goals set decades ago. Since then, the ecological problem has worsened dramatically. Yet Vermont dithers with over-elaborate technology substitution programs that are too-little-too-late. Vermont politicians seem to have made a pact to deliberately ignore greenhouse gas emissions from biomass energy and hydro--lifecycle/scope 3 emissions, too.
