2024 IN Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Suzanne Crouch: Supports venture turning animal waste into natural gas

Crouch joined BioTown AG officials, county officials and others involved in the newest BioTown AG venture, BioGas LLC. The Agriculture business welcomed all who are involved in the process of changing livestock manure into clean natural gas from methane produced by the waste. Crouch told Furrer, the company is helping Indiana imagine the future by helping the state reduce its carbon footprint. "It's an honor to be here at this momentous occasion," she said.

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.

Jennifer McCormick: Adopt renewable energy, incentivize green technology

We will create an economic development plan that promotes environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, and resilience to our changing climate. I will support the transition and expansion of renewable and clean energy for Hoosier citizens and businesses by investing in locally-driven energy practices.

We will commit to joining the bipartisan group of governors in the U.S. Climate Alliance to further encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources and incentivize green technology innovation.

Suzanne Crouch: Supports "All of the Above" strategy

Q: Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws cost too many jobs. B) Stricter environmental laws are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.

A: Stricter environmental laws and regulations do have a cost and can deter jobs and economic growth. We need to follow reasonable rules that avoid the harmful effects of regulation and also recognize that we are stewards and need to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Our energy policy needs to be balanced with an emphasis on foreign independence, affordability, and reliability as the energy markets transition.

Q: What do you believe is the most reliable energy source?

A: We need to continue an All of the Above strategy focused on the five pillars of electric service: affordability, reliability, resilience, stability, and environmental sustainability to guide current and new energy policies for Indiana.

Eric Doden: I'll support any energy source that keeps costs low

?Doden: Our next governor's focus should be to make sure Hoosiers have affordable, reliable and available energy. Right now, that means natural gas and coal. That's why on day one, I will sign an executive order to keep our coal plants open, generating power, until the market supports a reliable and affordable replacement. At the end of the day, I'll support any energy source that keeps costs low and the lights on for homeowners and businesses.
