Energy Solutions

Americans want, need and deserve real energy solutions.  We are home to the best and brightest researchers and scientists around the world.  Our spirit of innovation and ingenuity can find the solutions we need to increase our production of American-made energy—better than any Washington bureaucrat or government regulation.

I am committed to a comprehensive energy reform policy that will boost supplies of American-made energy.  This will help us reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy, protect us against blackmail by foreign dictators, create American jobs and grow our economy.

I believe we can do this by investing in energy that is both efficient and environmentally sound; by making a commitment to groundbreaking research in advance alternative and renewable energy technologies. With 21st Century technologies and the strictest environmental standards in the world, America simply must produce more of our own energy that protects our environment at the same time.

I have cosponsored a number of common-sense pieces of legislation that would address these issues and put our country on a path towards energy independence.
