Candidates on energy policy

Friday, January 11, 2008

The Web site of the Foreign Affairs Council has extensive information on the presidential candidates:

Most candidates agree that increasing energy independence is critical to national security. Many of them have co-authored legislation related to conservation, such as improving auto gasoline efficiency, developing alternative energies, such as ethanol, or expanding fossil-fuel exploitation, such as offshore drilling. As natural resources become depleted, and relations between the United States and some important oil-producing countries become increasingly strained, energy policy has emerged as a crucial campaign issue.
