Rodney Davis on Energy & Oil

	Rodney Davis on Energy & Oil

Oppose EPA attempts to ban coal-fired power plants

As gasoline prices across Central and Southern Illinois continue to hover around an offensive $4.00 per gallon, Davis announced his opposition to EPA attempts to ban coal-fired power plants and strong support for construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Davis also calls for increased refining capacity and expanded production of renewable fuels like ethanol and biodiesel.

"Our country needs a strong, clear, comprehensive energy strategy," said Davis. "Right now, the volatility in gas prices and other energy prices hurts every family. We need to expand our domestic generating capacity to end our dependence on foreign oil."

Davis strongly opposed the job killing "Cap and Trade" bill, and will fight any future attempt to impose national carbon taxes.
