Support new domestic oil and natural gas, including Keystone
America has enough energy here within our borders, but misguided government policies and environmental extremism prevent us from using those resources. The Obama administration has done everything in its power to prevent new domestic
oil and natural gas from coming to market. $4 a gallon gas is a direct result of failed government policies that have left us dependent on buying overseas oil, much of it from regimes hostile to our values. I support construction of the Keystone pipeline

Voted NO on scientific study on fracking
Excerpts from Legislative Counsel's Digest:- This bill would require, by 2015, an independent scientific study on well stimulation treatments, including acid well stimulation & hydraulic fracturing.
- Regulates disposition of well
stimulation fluids.
- The bill requires a permit prior to performing a well stimulation treatment.
- Requires a supplier claiming trade secret protection for the chemical composition of additives used in a well stimulation treatment to disclose the
composition to the division.
Status:Passed House, 54-20-4; passed Senate 29-8-2; signed by Gov.Brown, 9/20/2013OnTheIssues Explanation: "Fracking" extracts more oil and gas from otherwise non-productive wells. The
controversy includes that fracking causes earthquakes (hence the "scientific study"), as well as issues about disposal of the large volumes of potentially toxic liquids used. This bill slows the implementation of fracking. (Mimi Walters voted NAY).
