The Washington Times: on Energy & Oil


Patrick Morrisey: Fought against clean power rules

The Senate Conservatives Fund on Wednesday endorsed West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

The group cited the way Morrisey fought against the Obama administration's clean power rules and defended the nation's immigration laws.

"Patrick Morrisey is a full-spectrum conservative who will fight for limited government, economic freedom, and personal responsibility in the US Senate," said the president of the Senate Conservatives Fund

George Allen: Energy independence instead of cap-and-trade

Former Sen. George Allen stuck to a mostly positive message of economic growth, energy independence and individual freedom Allen did not pull punches when criticizing items like Obama's health care overhaul, the cap-and-trade energy proposal supported by many Democrats, or "Washington liberals."

Tea party activist Jamie Radtke lambasted Mr. Allen during the debate for his spending record in the U.S. Senate--as she has done since entering the race.

Jim Gilmore: Favors drilling ANWR and also drilling offshore

Gilmore tried to distinguish his energy policy from Warner’s by insisting the Democrat would oppose offshore drilling. Warner has said he would be in favor of allowing states to explore the possibility of drilling off their shores. He said “we need more drilling off the coast.” However, the candidates continue to differ on drilling in the ANWR: Gilmore favors it, while Warner opposes the practice.
