Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Energy

In Favor of:

In favor of domestic drilling, including ANWR, and coastal areas. In favor of the Keystone pipeline. In favor of "clean coal" electric generation facilities. In favor of building new nuclear power plants. In favor of free market private investments in sustainable alternative energy sources. I am also in favor of the elimination of subsidies to the oil industry, and all industries. It is not the role of a Republican form of government to attempt a top down approach to the economy. The competition of the free market drives a capitalist economy.

Opposed to:

Artificial propping up of "green" technologies with taxpayer money. Opposes use of crops for bio-fuels such as ethanol when subsidized and when no demand exists legitimately in the free market.
