My 3 Point Energy Plan:
America is blessed with rich
natural resources, including enough traditional fuels
to meet our needs for more than 100 years - and that's
just what we've discovered already. Our engineers
and scientists are continuing to create the next generation
of en energy efficient vehicles, homes and offices.
As an engineer and a member of the
House Science committee, I know we have the resources
to meet America's energy needs. That's why I've introduced
and supported legislation to promote American energy:
Extreme environmentalists would have us believe that we must choose between our lifestyles and our environment. I am confident that we can cultivate domestic energy sources while fulfilling our responsibility to conserve and steward the resources we have been given.
The truth is that we are still several decades away from significantly reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Any rational energy strategy must include a bridge from where we are to where we will be. And that bridge must protect our economy and our way of life. That's why I am a strong supporter of the Republican "All of the Above" energy strategy. Under "All of the Above," we continue to utilize traditional energy sources while redoubling our commitment to developing the fuels of the future.
That's a safe, sane and responsible energy plan. It's my goal and it is a legacy we can be pleased to leave for future generations.
