Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites: on Energy & Oil


Adam Schiff: I was an original co-sponsor of the Green New Deal

With so much at stake, when the Green New Deal was introduced, I was an original co-sponsor. And I want to tell you why. The Green New Deal is not just a bold plan for addressing climate change and beginning to right the ship, it also is an urgent call to invest in growing a modern, green economy that is equitable and just for all.

Tim Sheehy: Time to make America energy independent and dominant again

It's time to make America energy independent and dominant once again. We can power America's resurgence with the greatest form of energy known to man, our God given natural resources. We are blessed here with abundant coal, minerals, timber and grasslands--let's make sure Montana producers come first. We should be able to responsibly develop those resources here at home to create more high-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and support our communities, all while protecting the environment.

Frank LaRose: End restrictions on oil/gas leasing, pipeline construction

Frank believes Ohio plays a key role in foreign policy because of our ability to provide vital energy resources and world class manufacturing capacity. Expanding domestic oil and gas production provides energy security to our country and reduces reliance on international energy sources. He'll end the Biden-Brown restrictions on oil and gas leasing, pipeline construction, refining and investing, and he'll fight the disastrous and tax-raising policies of the Green New Deal.

Kelly Ayotte: Take an all-of-the-above approach to lower energy costs

Kelly's utmost energy priority will be reducing costs for Granite Staters. Kelly will take an all-of-the-above approach to lower energy costs while focusing on stability, affordability, modernization, sustainability, and market-driven solutions. New Hampshire must modernize our aging energy infrastructure and develop new sources that will help drive energy costs down. Using a technology-neutral approach, the focus will be lowering the price of energy--not pushing an ideology.

Sam Brown: Extreme left energy agenda raises prices, destroys jobs

We have been blessed with an abundance of natural resources, but we've also been plagued by politicians pushing extreme left energy agendas, like the Green New Deal, that raise prices and destroy jobs. President Biden is systematically reversing all the progress we made through America First policies. As Nevada's next senator, I believe strongly in modern energy solutions that prioritize American energy jobs, protect consumers, and safeguard production in all forms.

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.

James Craig: Biden is beholden to the far left climate change agenda

During the Trump administration, America achieved energy independence. Joe Biden, beholden to the far left climate change/ESG agenda, has done everything in his power to stymie investment in American energy, stopping many large scale projects in their tracks. Policies that work to increase the supply of energy thus have an instrumental role to play in bringing down the price of energy, translating to more dollars in Americans' pockets that they don't need to be spending at the gas pump.

Tammy Murphy: Serves on board of Al Gore's Climate Reality Fund

For decades, Tammy's been a leader in the fight against climate change because she knows that the environment our kids grow up in can be the difference in childhood asthma rates, cancer diagnoses, and so many other things. More than 15 years ago, Al Gore asked Tammy to partner with him on his work to combat climate change and she still serves on the board of directors of his organization, The Climate Reality Fund.

Angela Alsobrooks: A vocal advocate for expanding tax credits for clean energy

She strongly supports President Biden's efforts to address climate change, including the measures passed in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. These pieces of legislation prioritize investments in clean energy and aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

If elected to the Senate, Angela will be a vocal advocate for expanding tax credits for clean energy, ensuring that all U.S. Government purchases, from buildings to vehicles, align with emission goals.

Reid Rasner: Cut stifling regulations; Drill Baby Drill

It is time to Energize America's Future! As your next United States Senator, my priority is clear: revitalize our energy sector, cut stifling regulations, and pave the way to true energy independence. It's time for American First Policies to be put in place that will last for generations to come. Let's empower innovation, create jobs, strengthen our nation's security, and Drill Baby Drill.

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.

Josh Eisen: Energy debate should not be expressed in extreme policies

Westchester's economy will slow down significantly due to the moratorium on new natural gas hookups. This is happening during a domestic natural gas and energy boom, no less. This story is of national significance and must be prevented with policy reform and focused improvements in infrastructure. The debate about energy should not be expressed in extreme policies that pain citizens and workers but have little impact on the lives of the legislators implementing these heartless plans.

Trent Staggs: No American should accept the crippling of domestic energy

If the government got out of the way, we wouldn't need to import oil from the Middle East.

No American anywhere should accept the crippling of domestic energy that we've seen since 2021 -- certainly not in the name of hysterical environmentalism. Environmental stewardship is important, but destroying our way of life is not. I'm a firm believer that technological advances have benefited mankind and the environment in the past, and will continue to do so in the future.

Hung Cao: We must invest in energy independence and gas under $2/gal

We should always be a good steward of the Earth that God provided. American energy producers have the cleanest practices in the world, yet the Biden-Kaine administration continues to punish our domestic energy industry and force an American dependence on unclean foreign energy sources. The American mining industry follows regulations and focuses on protecting the land they mine.

Caroline Gleich: Supports transition to clean, renewable energy sources

Caroline is dedicated to robust environmental protection. She advocates for sustainable practices, clean energy initiatives, and the implementation of carbon capture technologies.

Nella Domenici: Will support an all-of-the-above approach to energy

Energy in America should be reliable, affordable, and enable American energy independence. New Mexico is well-positioned to emerge as the leader in all types of energy. Nella will support an all-of-the-above approach to energy, while ensuring that the transition to renewable energy is sensible, orderly and achievable. Energy security is critical to our national security; it is far cleaner, safer, and cheaper to utilize the energy resources we have at home.

Ty Pinkins: Invest in sustainable, resilient infrastructure for energy

As your next Senator, Ty will focus on three things:
  1. Investing in sustainable, resilient infrastructure to meet the energy demands and preparing an energy structure that our kids and grandkids can depend on.
  2. Encouraging our farmers to adopt climate-friendly sustainable agriculture practices. Practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or sequester carbon and nutrients in plants.
  3. Supporting economic policies that encourage other countries to get on board and reduce emissions.

Jim Marchant: Oil, natural gas, and coal provide America with security

The truth is that oil, natural gas, and coal provide America with security and a healthy economy. Without having control over these necessities, we are at the mercy of foreign governments such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Oman, and more. Jim Marchant will fight for energy independence at every level. He will not be swayed by Green Energy activists who cheer when industry is crippled and our economy is bludgeoned.

John Deaton: Energy transition yes; but no Green New Deal

Our climate is changing. For coastal states like ours, the impact of climate change is greater.

I oppose the Green New Deal. We need a multi-faceted and balanced approach to tackling this issue that protects our economy and is not ignorant to what is happening across the globe including emerging economies. We need to move ourselves through an energy transition, reducing our carbon footprint in a very systematic way while not causing a significant detriment to our economic well-being. Current policies promoted by Elizabeth Warren hurt the poor and middle class. Pursuing renewable energy and independence from fossil fuels is a must, but it must not be achieved on the backs of the people struggling the most. We must implement a plan that eventually achieves carbon neutrality in a sensible way. I’m confident that our future lies in renewable & sustainable energy, and that the ingenuity of this country, especially in places like Massachusetts, is poised to lead the rest of the world.

Laphonza Butler: Affordable clean energy with high efficiency standards

Senator Butler wants to ensure that Californians are provided with reliable, affordable clean energy, high efficiency standards, and jobs for the future. She is a proponent of modernizing our electric grid and utilizing more renewable energy sources. She believes it is essential that we increase the rate of deployable energy but do so in a manner that protects essential ecosystems. As homes, business, and vehicles continue to electrify, Senator Butler wants to push for the most stringent efficiency standards to save energy while also saving consumers money.

Royce White: We control prices by being energy independent

Our society relies on energy to function. Our people pay a price for energy, and our nation pays a price for energy. We cut and control that price by being energy independent. This also protects us from unnecessary insecurities in our energy. Security in our own energy helps our citizens and nation function more reliably. Again, security helps us avoid the temptation to get involved in military conflicts to support our energy needs.
