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.

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.

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?

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.
