Issue Position: Energy Independence

Issue Position

Wyoming is the nation's energy breadbasket. Producing energy in Wyoming isn't just good for the local economy - it's good for our national security. Every bit of energy we produce here at home decreases the need for us to look overseas to supply our critical energy needs. I believe in smart, balanced energy policy that recognizes the importance of domestic energy production and reducing our reliance on foreign oil, as well as protecting our natural environment. I also believe with smart policy choices and wise investment, Wyoming will continue to be a world leader in coal production, natural gas, and other renewable energy sources.
