Mark Begich

AK-Sen (Map)

Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich went to a meeting with Al Gore, went home and compared the glaciers of his youth with the glaciers for his young son. He understands that the situation is serious. As Mayor, he has worked within his city, his region, his state, and the nation to help foster moves toward better energy practices. This is an experience and perspective that we need in the Senate.

Tom Perriello

VA-05 (Map)

“We need to commit to independence from fossil fuels within a generation, and that will require major investments, a substantial shift in incentives, and a culture change as consumers. A revenue-neutral tax shift is one way to do this, but so are cap-and-trade systems that have worked to address problems such as acid rain.
“As for the target, I most often hear from experts that we must draw the line at no more than a 2-degree Celsius temperature increase. Our goal must be set not by what seems politically possible but what will actually produce the end result we need.”

Scott Kleeb

NE-Sen (Map)

“As a person who has earned a paycheck working in the outdoors, I am a natural conservationist. As a hunter who worries about the shrinking migratory duck population, I am concerned about global warming. Whether from farmers, ranchers or hunters, our government could take a few lessons from our way of life and once again show respect for our traditions and heritage.”

Glenn Nye

Kay Barnes

MO-06 (Map)

During her eight years as mayor of Kansas City, Kay Barnes supported renewable energy projects that created jobs in Northwest Missouri, such as the Ford hybrid plant and wind farms. As a member of the U.S. House, she promises to do even more to create good-paying, ‘green-collar’ jobs by working to steer the nation toward the clean, renewable energy of the future rather than following the dirty energy policies of the past,” said LCV President Gene Karpinski. “We are happy to endorse her candidacy.”

Michael Skelly

TX-07 (Map)

He will bring to Congress a substantive knowledge of the renewable energy sectors, contacts and respect within the industry, and will be able to serve as a meaningful translator between the business and legislative worlds.

Tony Barr

PA-09 (Map)

Tony will bring a fresh breath to Congress and will become a member of the Bike Caucus, as a regular (but not only) bike commuter today. He understands that there is no Silver Bullet, but that we need a “smorgasbord of solutions”. Let’s get that smorgasbord to the Congressional table.

Daniel Johnson

NC-10 (Map)

While Daniel Johnson is a tremendous candidate/person, this is like James Inhofe, a race on this list for “energy dumb” reasons. The incumbent, Patrick McHenry (R-idiocy), is among the worst of ideological demagogues among House Republicans. He is on the list, specifically, for abysmal remarks re Democratic Energy concepts. His is a voice that should not be part of national dicussions on energy issues.
