Corey Stewart on Energy & Oil

 

 


Theory of man-made climate change is a hoax

Q: Consider climate change a critical issue? Limit or tax production of greenhouse gases?

Tim Kaine (D): Yes. Climate change imperils our planet's future & threatens our economy. Need to regulate greenhouse gases. Paris Climate Accord withdrawal will make it harder to deal with climate change at home.

Corey Stewart (R): No. "Theory of man-made Climate change is a hoax." Climate is changing, but "I don't believe that man is the primary cause & I don't believe that man can change that." Believes climate accord regulations are "nonsensical."

Q: Should government support renewable energy?

Tim Kaine (D): Yes. Has supported renewable energy subsidies. Also supported a VA coal plant as governor. In 2013 supported off-shore drilling, which now opposes.

Corey Stewart (R): Opposed Governor McAuliffe's renewable energy initiatives. Says backs all US energy development "including nuclear, solar, wind & fossil fuels."

Climate accord regulations are nonsensical

Trump "is rolling back nonsensical regulations, including the Paris climate accord which I think was a real damaging regulation on American businesses. It did not have the same level of restriction on India and China, and so we were at a competitive disadvantage, and I think we've seen the results over the past several years where so many businesses are moving to China, to India, and many people have lost their jobs because of it."
