Try everything. Do everything. Nuclear. Biomass. Coal. Solar. You name it. I support them all.

If oil companies were to invest their high profits into alternative fuel research it will help America move toward new forms of energy.

Neglecting clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and especially nuclear, can result in blackouts, increased power bills, and will take a heavy toll on our efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.

I strongly support an 'all-of-the-above' energy policy that includes additional development of wind, clean coal, and bio-fuels.

We will work on maximizing the introduction of energy conservation and renewable energy, while lowering our dependence on nuclear power generation as much as possible.

In Congress, I've advocated for an all-of-the-above energy policy that identifies and promotes alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydropower.

I always thought that using more efficient energy sources, pushing the clean energy technologies such as renewable energies are important.
