2024 WI Senate race: on Energy & Oil

Eric Hovde: Delusional to end fossil fuel use

Eric Hovde (R): No. His campaign website doesn't mention climate. The push to end fossil fuel use before the next half-century is "delusional." To think you're "going to move an economy of this size... from its existing energy sources in... a decade, you are smoking crack."

Tammy Baldwin (D): Yes. "The longer we fail to act, the more costly climate change will be." Supported the Inflation Reduction Act to "tackle climate change." Voted to update public transit for climate friendliness. Committed to working with local communities to find solutions.

Eric Hovde: Roll back regulations to expand energy production

Eric Hovde (R): Loosen. Would roll back some environmental regulations to expand energy production and resource development.

Tammy Baldwin (D): Tighten. Supported the Inflation Reduction Act to "preserve our way of life, economy, and wellbeing." Called for community projects to clean up the Mississippi River. Worked to increase funding for Great Lakes restoration.

Eric Hovde: Climate change is an existential threat to humanity
