Jim Pederson on Energy & Oil

Climate change is real; renewables needed and ready

Jim Pederson knows that climate change is real - and a real long-term threat to our economy and our quality of life. Jim will work to develop sources of renewable energy. These technologies are no longer science fiction. The possibilities are real and they are here now. They will help protect our environment, reduce our dependence on Mideast oil, which will help to make our nation more secure and help to bring down gas prices for consumers.

Commonsense market-based solutions for climate change

Jim will work to find commonsense solutions that will protect our environment and grow our economy. He supports the bi-partisan bill put forward by Senator McCain which will use the power of the market to curb the greenhouse gases. It's an approach that worked with acid rain, and will likely work in this case too. Source: Campaign website, www.pederson2006.com, "Issues" May 2, 2006
