Develop oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear and any others
Q: Do you oppose or support the statement, "Replace coal & oil with alternatives"?A: Strongly oppose. I want to open all federal land to energy development by private enterprise using private investment.
I want to develop oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, and any other energy source deemed appropriate by private enterprise. I want the US to not only be energy independent, but an energy exporter.

I believe in natural Climate Change, not caused by humans
I believe in "Climate Change". From my review of available information it seems that Earth's temperature has been fluctuating for millions of years, and will probably continue to do so in the future. I disagree with the idea that Global Warming is caused
by humans and represents one of the greatest threats facing mankind. The US is blessed with an abundance of domestic energy resources, vastly more than most of the countries around the world from which we import. - OIL: The US is sitting on the
world's largest, untapped oil reserves estimated at about 2.3 trillion barrels, sufficient to meet 300 years of demand
- COAL: The US estimated recoverable reserves of coal stand at 275 billion tons, capable of meeting domestic demand for more than 250
years.
- NUCLEAR: The US has developed the technological expertise to safely construct and maintain nuclear plants.
- ANWR: About 10 billion barrels of oil are locked away here, with little possibility that federal lawmakers will open the door.
