Christine O`Donnell on Energy & Oil

Republican Challenger


Increase oil refinery capacity; drill offshore for oil

America has not built another oil refinery to produce gasoline in the last 30 years. The lack of refinery capacity is a major factor in high gas prices. We refuse to accept that America lacks the knowledge to produce energy while also keeping our environment clean. We can do it.

Christine has long supported using Delaware's agricultural resources to supplement America's gasoline supplies. This can raise the income of farmers as well as help all Delaware drivers. The biggest reason for rising food prices is the high cost of fuel for transporting food and grains.

Democrats have blocked America from achieving energy independence, including vast oil supplies in the Gulf of Mexico. China is preparing to drill for oil 45 miles from Key West FL, as a team with Cuba. Environmentally, this drilling will happen either way. But US firms will surely use higher technical quality & greater care for our own environment than China will. How careful will China's oil drilling be about America's shorelines?

Build more oil refineries to reduce gas prices

America has not built another oil refinery to produce gasoline in the last 30 years. The lack of refinery capacity is a major factor in high gas prices.

While protecting the environment God gave us is indeed a sacred trust, we have the skill to do both. We refuse to accept that America lacks the knowledge to produce energy while also keeping our environment clean. We can do it.
