The offshore ocean area under U.S. jurisdiction is larger than our land mass, and teems with plant and animal life, mineral resources, commerce, trade, and energy sources.

I spent more than 20 years of my professional career researching and developing renewable energy sources.

Of course we have to use coal... the renewable energy sources will supplement the supply from coal.

What my voting record reflects is constantly looking to improve the amount of resources we having going into research, development, and prototypes we have going into renewable energy sources.

Harm no person, animal, plant or mineral.

We should not just consume hydrocarbon fuel but use it to develop nuclear energy, hydro power and renewable energy sources.
