Steve Horn on Energy & Oil Former Republican Representative (CA-38, 1993-2003)

Voted YES on raising CAFE standards; incentives for alternative fuels.

Voted YES on prohibiting oil drilling & development in ANWR.

Voted YES on starting implementation of Kyoto Protocol.

Supports immediate reductions in greenhouse gases.

The Republican Main Street Partnership supports the goal of immediate, near-term reductions in greenhouse gases, and would move toward this goal by providing strong incentives that have minimal adverse impact on the economy, and to continue to apply our best scientific minds to developing a better understanding of the long-term nature of climate change and the means to cope with it.

Two objectives should be accomplished:
1. create an "early action crediting system" to provide assurances to companies that actions taken now to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases will be recognized and credited in the eventual system of emissions reductions standards that will be developed; and
2. commit the necessary resources to national and international scientific efforts to better understand the cause and effect of global climate change.
