Supplement coal & oil with solar & nuclear & others
Q: Should we replace coal & oil with alternatives?A: STRONGLY SUPPORT adding fuel & energy alternatives, not necessarily replacing coal and oil, but supplementing them with new Sources such as Ethanol, Shale Oil, Wind & Solar Power, Tidal, Bio-Diesel,
hydro-electric, nuclear, and the like, we should encourage many sources and try to promote competition by preventing any single energy source from falling victim to monopoly control like the present OPEC Cartel and its stranglehold on the US Economy.

NO on reducing oil usage by 40% by 2025 (instead of 5%), unlike my opponent, who apparently believes the federal government can mandate science, and who opposes liquid fuels, which I support, including OIL, Ethanol, Liquefied Gas, & Bio-Diesel.
