Pete Ashdown on Energy & Oil

Democratic challenger


R&D to wean America off addiction to oil

America can dramatically increase its energy supply without drilling for more oil or natural gas. By increasing our investment in research and in the construction of green energy facilities, America can begin to wean itself off of its addiction to Middle Eastern oil. Solar power, wind power, geothermal power, biomass power, ethanol, and bio-diesel are all areas of tremendous potential growth within the United States.

Proposed American Energy R&D Federal Funds Allocation:
