I believe we must continue to develop all forms of energy production while limiting our reliance on foreign sources of oil. America is home to a diverse energy sector. We see that first hand in Northwest Missouri in the form of our windmills and seemingly endless acres of corn, much of which will be turned into ethanol.
For our economy to truly recover we will need to continue to tap into both American resources and innovation in the energy field. We must increase our production of wind, bio-fuels and other types of renewable energy, as well as continue to develop all forms of domestic energy production. Northwest Missouri's farmers are leading the way. I will work to make sure they continue to do so.
