Jack Hoogendyk on Energy & Oil

Republican Senate challenger

Let free market explore clean coal and oil

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "Replace coal and oil with alternatives"?

A: We have enough environmental legislation in place to protect the environment. Clean coal and oil should be explored, and used to its fullest potential as we continue to allow the free market to develop the next generation of energy supply.

Expand oil production and expand nuclear energy

We should remove all subsidies for oil production and open up domestic oil fields for drilling and further exploration in a way that protects the environment.
We need to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil.
I support expansion of nuclear energy.
