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 have on their wallets at the pump and the grocery store. To accomplish this, we must:

·         Increase our domestic oil supply.

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

·         Support the gas tax holiday. The federal government has enjoyed a higher profit as a result of the higher cost of gas while hard-working families have struggled to fill their tanks.  By placing a moratorium on the gas tax for the summer months, Americans will feel less strain on their wallets from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

·         Increase our domestic refining capacity.
