Green energy is the future of Nebraska

Green party candidate Steve Larrick continued to stress the importance of one issue in particular. "I think green energy is the future of Nebraska.

More ethanol; more emission controls; more alternative fuels

Strengthen fuel efficiency standards.
Encourage further development and use of alternative fuels.
Support the use of ethanol as an alternativ fuel.
Support international mandatory or voluntary emission targets to limit global warming.
Larrick adds, "We need to bring down the cap on corn-based ethanol production and increase cellulosic development."
