Invest in wind, solar, clean coal, nuclear, oil & gas

Q: What should be done at the federal level to reduce our use of and dependence on fossil fuels?

A: We need to continue to develop more energy sources and find innovative ways to use less energy. We should continue to invest in wind, solar, clean coal, biofuels, nuclear energy, as well as oil and natural gas. This will reduce dependence on Middle Eastern oil and create thousands of jobs here at home.

Invest in wind, solar, clean coal, nuclear energy, oil & gas

I will support policies to create energy independence, good jobs, and a cleaner environment for Americans.

We should continue to invest in wind, solar, clean coal, biofuels, nuclear energy, as well as oil and natural gas. A balanced energy policy which both finds more, and uses less, will strengthen our economy, protect our environment, and enhance our national security.
