Robert Fitzgerald on Energy & Oil

Develop renewable energy by tax incentives & research funds

Energy independence is of economic, environmental, and national security importance. We need to encourage the development of renewable energy resources through tax incentives and by funding research. Meeting our nation's energy needs internally should be an absolute priority for the obvious economic benefits. Source: Campaign website, www.votefitzgerald.org, "Issues" Oct 31, 2006

Campaign bus runs on waste cooking oil

When it comes to issues, Fitzgerald distinguishes himself from Klobuchar and Kennedy by setting out an agenda that blends liberal and conservative themes. He talked about some of his ideas recently while driving his bus around Fergus Falls, collecting containers of waste cooking oil from fast-food restaurants to power the vehicle.
