Issue Position: Energy

We should be using our country's resources responsibly -- ending our dependence upon foreign oil. This country has tremendous resources that offer great opportunities for the people who live here. A free marketplace that allows for transactions and innovation will assuredly create the enterprises that we need to sustain our energy needs now and in the future.

In the 3rd district of Colorado, there is an abundance of natural energy sources that can be applied to solving our energy problems -- this in turn would stimulate the economy. We have an abundance of natural gas and coal that can be responsibly developed. Here in Colorado, we can develop energy that doesn't pollute our neighbors -- with responsible technology and the use of renewable resources. Natural resource development should be in the hands of the State of Colorado; the current stringent federal control will guarantee that Colorado's energy is left untouched while the economy continues to falter. It's Colorado's resources, not theirs!
