Energy Independence
I believe that we must strive for both clean energy and energy independence. We must take action now to secure the future for the next generation. I support development of alternative energy resources, but not at the cost of passing cap and trade which would add $3200 in new fees and taxes on San Francisco households. We must build more nuclear facilities, drill responsibly and encourage development of wind, solar and geothermal.
Achieving energy independence is a critical component in winning the War on Terrorism and keeping our economy strong and growing. We need to accelerate the construction of new nuclear power plants and permit American firms to drill offshore and on Alaska’s North Slope.
We also need a national commitment to the development of a variety of alternative sources of energy, including bio diesel, biomass, wind, hydrogen, solar and clean coal in order to stop enriching Middle Eastern dictators who want to destroy us.
