Issue Position

America is too dependent on foreign sources of energy. Nearly a billion dollars every day is sent overseas to pay for foreign oil. Relying on foreign governments for our critical energy needs threatens our national security. Connecticut can make its own contribution to reducing U.S. dependence on foreign energy by encouraging more energy efficiency and developing sources of alternative energy. In doing so, we also contribute to better air quality and will stimulate job growth.
