Issue Position: Energy

Issue Position

Energy independence is not just an economic issue, but a matter of national security. Gary will fight to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by supporting a strategy that includes alternative energy like wind, solar, and biofuels while responsibly expanding production of American oil and natural gas.

Michigan is a manufacturing state. Michigan builds the best products in the world and possess the infrastructure, both natural and man-made, to transport products far beyond our borders. Gary will promote Michigan as the ideal place to manufacture the products needed in a clean energy economy.

In Congress, Gary will work to eliminate subsidies and tax breaks for big oil and instead invest in American sources of energy.
