2024 UT Senate race: on Energy & Oil

Brad Wilson: Expand production: nuclear, natural gas, oil, solar, wind

• Reverse the Biden Administration's policies that have blocked America's energy production and made us dependent on foreign nations.
• Expand America's energy production, including nuclear power, natural gas, oil, solar, wind and other new technologies.
• Stop the federal overreach that is trying to tell Utahns what car they can drive and the stove they can cook on.

Brad Wilson: Our coal is significantly cleaner than the coal in China

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

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.

John Curtis: 2021: Founded the Conservative Climate Caucus

Curtis knows better than most how discussions of climate change and energy transitions can be met with skepticism from some conservatives. But Curtis said the more his constituents learn about what he's doing, the more they agree with him. "As they understand that I'm offering solutions for conservatives that don't ask them to give up their conservative values, I find great support," Curtis said.

Caroline Gleich: Supports transition to clean, renewable energy sources

Caroline Gleich: Reduce or eliminate subsidies for fossil fuels

In addition to reintegrating the electrical grid, Gleich would also prioritize reducing federal subsidies as part of her climate action plan. "The government is providing fossil fuel subsidies and Utahns and average Americans are paying the consequences with its impacts of the pollution of burning fossil fuels," said Gleich.

"The air quality and public health impacts of air pollution are disproportionately felt by marginalized communities. And so by reducing those subsidies or eliminating them, we can really help to level the playing the playing field between renewable energy and fossil fuels."
