Steve Pearce on Energy

Gas prices and home energy costs are breaking the family budget and we are increasingly looking to foreign sources of energy to meet demand. I believe we can reverse both of these trends by increasing America’s domestic supply of energy. Increased supply will mean lower prices and less dependence on volatile regions of the world like the Middle East.

Further, I have been a consistent advocate for developing renewable energy such as solar, wind, and biofuel. Still, even significant advancements in renewables will not replace our reliance on traditional sources of energy such as oil and natural gas. That’s why I have fought for technologies that make the production of energy from these sources cleaner and more efficient.

Nuclear power must be a part of America’s energy future.  Nuclear energy is cheap, clean and ready now.  We need to begin investing in new refineries that will bring more energy to New Mexico.
