I'm committed to the goal of Senate Bill 324, and that is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of my top priorities in Congress is to reduce U.S. dependence on fossil fuels.
I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate change is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
I have acknowledged the problem and have spent my time in Congress focusing on solutions - including developing clean and efficient energy that grows our economy and creates jobs while also lowering pollution levels and protecting the environment.
I've developed several serious policy proposals to create jobs, reform Washington and reduce spending.
What I can do as the member of the United States Senate is try to do everything I can to keep America safe.
I'm committed to voting to repeal Obamacare or defending it as much as possible.
I want to do my part in fighting for America's future. That's why I have decided to run for the United States Senate.
As president, I will bring all the parties and stakeholders together. I am going to come up with a solution that respects the environment and does not cause an upheaval in the economy.
I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive.
I voted against the climate-change legislation. Not that I don't believe we should move to a clean-energy economy, and it can be good for South Dakota's economy to do so, but it was started out as a very partisan bill in the committee.
