Senator Warner believes we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil while investing in new technologies that reduce harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. He favors an "all of the above," portfolio approach that employs solar, wind, bio-fuels, nuclear energy and next generation battery technologies. Senator Warner believes we need to invest in research that focuses on using carbon capture technology so we can continue to use our domestic resources, such as coal, more responsibly.
