Vicki Slater on Energy & Oil

Develop energy, but balance it with environmental concerns

A: I do support the development of energy as part of Mississippi's economic picture. There are other factors playing on the production of oil such as the low cost of oil right now. Some companies are taking a wait-and-see attitude or can't afford, at the rate oil is selling, to produce. Energy is definitely part of the economic picture in Mississippi, and I think that has to be explored. At the same time, you've got to balance it with environmental concerns when it comes to fracking and things like that.
