Kucinich on Energy (Kucinich for Congress)
From the Kucinich for Congress issues page on energy:
A Leader for the Development of Safe, Clean Energy
With gasoline prices going through the roof, Americans are very aware of the economic and political risks of reliance on oil supplies and prices set by global corporate interests. It is time for a new energy policy which charts a new course, away from reliance on oil and towards the creation of energy resources.
Kucinich led an effort in Congress to challenge the oil companies as they began to sharply raise prices. He has advocated requiring oil companies to expand gasoline storage capacities. He has worked to block mergers of oil companies. He believes that energy trading exchanges should be reregulated. He has offered a ten year plan to improve fuel economy standards. And he has pushed for the Federal Trade Commission ot investigate how the oil companies are strangling competition and driving up prices. It is time for green hydrogen, solar, wind, biomass and other energy technologies to be brought forward to protect our economy and our environment.
Congressman Kucinich is preparing new energy initiatives for the widespread dissemination of decentralized hydrogen, solar, wind and other technologies.
He is also leading the way in questioning the unsafe and unscrupulous practices of nuclear power plant operators and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Millions of Americans live within a hundred mile radius of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant, which Kucinich has attempted to keep closed since a hole was discovered in the lid of the reactor.
