Steve Sauerberg, MD,
Republican Candidate for US Senate

 

ENERGY/ALTERNATIVE FUELS

"As a nation, we must increase the use of alternative fuels to end our dependence on foreign oil, increase our domestic oil supply and refining capacity to lower gas prices and continually increase fuel economy standards. We cannot continue an energy policy that relies on foreign dictators and jeopardizes our national and economic security."

1.     Increase research into alternative fuels, especially ethanol, which directly benefits Illinois farmers.  Further utilizing alternative fuels will lower gas prices, bolster the economy, and decrease our reliance on foreign dictators and hostile countries for oil. We can expand technology and conduct this research without funding from tax increases.

2.     Lower gas prices for hard-working American families, who are feeling the impact high gas prices both at the pump and the grocery store. To accomplish this we must:

a.     Increase our domestic oil supply by drilling in ANWR and off-shore.

b.     Stop filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Currently, the SPR contains enough oil to supply the United States for almost two weeks should a disruption occur. By continually filling the SPR, our government is increasing America’s demand for oil and driving up gas prices.

c.     Increase our domestic refining capacity.

3.     Pursue safe nuclear technology. Illinois is uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of research and productivity regarding safe nuclear power with its six generating stations already available; these power plants are capable of generating enough electricity to power 11 million American homes.
