Issue Position: Energy Policy

Issue Position

Big oil companies wrote and benefited from the last energy bill to pass Congress. Unfortunately, our energy policy is one of the worst examples of what's wrong with Washington. I refuse to sit by and live in a country where our energy policy is written by lobbyists for issues_energythe oil industry for the sole benefit of oil companies.

Congress has a responsibility to take bold action to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, stop global warming, and ensure that America is at the forefront in developing innovative technologies.

In Congress, I will support efforts to make America a leader in the development of groundbreaking technologies, like biofuels, solar cells, and wind power.

Crafting a forward-looking energy policy is an economic issue, a national security issue and an environmental protection issue.
