Eric Holcomb on Energy & Oil |
Eric Holcomb: No. Signed a bill delaying coal plant closures and a bill ending financial credits to solar and wind owners who send excess power back to the grid.
Woody Myers: Yes. Will speed retirement of coal plants with new jobs for coal workers, set up greenhouse gas reduction targets and support new renewables.
His agencies have become instruments of command and control into our daily lives and will undoubtedly hurt Hoosiers who can't afford those coming hikes in their monthly energy bills.
Making America safer, stronger and freer requires we limit our dependency on foreign sources of energy, which necessitates supporting home-grown energy such as coal here in Southern Indiana. The future growth and sustainability of our Hoosier economy depends on coal, and I look forward to proposing Indiana-grown ideas to further develop the natural resources we have to meet the energy needs of today and tomorrow."
