Energy and a Sustainable Environment

America is home to some of the most abundant natural resources on the planet. Our rich soils and fresh water feed the world and our minerals drive commerce. The supply, availability, sustainability and cost of energy are all critical components of economic viability and national security because raw materials are finite and must be managed to provide not only for us but for the generations to follow. Too often politicians discourage long-term domestic energy expansion and independence. So this election, vote for candidates whose policies support the following:

• Promote the development of American power sources while maintaining our existing natural resources
• Respect the role of market forces in determining effective solutions
• Strengthen energy transmission and infrastructure
• Promote smart, responsible energy efficiency
• Encourage private development of renewable fuel sources.
