Issue Position: Moving Toward Energy Independence

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2014
Issues: Energy

For too long, we have lacked a long-term energy plan. It's time to stop talking about the need to becoming more energy independent and start working on an agenda, in a bipartisan manner, to actually move us closer to it. Mike believes that America can and should be energy independent, and that a focus on exploration, innovation and technology are the keys to harnessing our own natural resources. As a leader in the Illinois State House, Mike was the chief negotiator for the Illinois Hydraulic Fracturing Regulation Act in 2013, which will allow the state to expand and grow its energy production with the potential to creating thousands of good, high paying jobs in Southern Illinois.
