I support more than $50 billion in new incentives for research into alternative fuel and energy sources.
Hillary Clinton (D)
I would require 25 percent of our electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020, and 60 billion gallons of biofuels to power our automobiles by 2030.
Chris Dodd (D)
"I will enact a corporate carbon tax that reduces harmful emissions and funds a $50 billion investment into the development of renewable energies and other biofuels."
John Edwards (D)
Investing in renewable energy like wind, solar, and biofuels can halt global warming and create more than 1 million jobs.
Rudy Giuliani (R)
I believe that America can achieve energy independence through a national strategy that emphasizes diversification, innovation, and conservation.
Mike Gravel (D)
"I support a carbon tax that would raise the price of gasoline so the market place would be forced to develop alternate sources of fuel and energy, including hydrogen.''
Mike Huckabee (R)
We have to explore, we have to conserve, and we have to pursue all avenues of alternative energy: nuclear, wind, solar, hydrogen, clean coal, biodiesel and biomass.
Duncan Hunter (R)
"I support achieving energy independence for the U.S. by cutting taxes on the production of alternative energy systems, including geothermal, nuclear, wind and solar."
Dennis Kucinich (D)
It is crucial that we move toward conservation, renewable energy, away from oil, nuclear and coal, and toward wind and solar and geothermal, green hydrogen and biomass.
John McCain (R)
I believe alternative fuels are essential to reducing our dependency on foreign oil. This dependency threatens our security and the environment.
Barack Obama (D)
Expanding renewable energy, including biomass, biofuels, solar, wind and hydroelectricity is critical to achieving energy independence and tackling climate change.
Ron Paul (R)
Fixation on oil is wreaking economic, military and, perhaps environmental havoc; all alternatives should be explored by the free market.
Bill Richardson (D)
“Baby steps are not going to cut it. We need a revolution to break our addiction to foreign oil, develop renewable energy and create the jobs of the future”
Mitt Romney (R)
“We must become energy independent by developing alternative sources of energy like biodiesel, ethanol, solar, wind and nuclear; finding more domestic sources of oil; and using coal in cleaner ways.”
Tom Tancredo (R)
I support immediate and rapid development of nuclear energy for the purpose of significantly reducing our reliance on petroleum products.
Fred Thompson (R)
"Invest in renewable and alternative fuels to promote a cleaner environment and place more emphasis on conservation and energy efficiency, especially the reduction of CO2 emissions."
