Election Topic: Environment

Romney:  Mitt Romeny believes that protecting the environment is important, but not at the risk of putting our nation at a disadvantage. He believes that instead of establishing mandates on our environmental usage, we should discover new ways to harness our power over our resources and find ways to maximize our usage, without doing damage. He plans on developing, “no regret policies,” in which we lower the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, become energy independent, and decrease the amount of harmful gasses we emit into the environment. Governor Romney truly believes that protecting the environment is extremely important, but he believes that creating more jobs is more important right now. What that means is that he is neither against offshore drilling nor against using renewable energy sources. Using our environment is not a harmful thing unless we make it harmful. Governor Romney believes that we should use our environment, in a safe and organized way, in order to create more jobs and a healthier economy.
