Energy: what he voted for in the legislature
What they say
His campaign says the country should use every energy source, from gas, oil, nuclear and coal to hydro, solar and wind, to lower costs.
“We should use every tool our nation has at its disposal including natural gas, oil, nuclear, clean coal, hydro, solar, and wind power to lower costs and strengthen American energy independence.”
What the record shows ·
He voted for two energy bills that became law. On March 3, 2020 he voted for Senate File 583, which passed the House 98-0. It sets how utilities bill customers who make their own power, such as with solar panels, and credits them for power they send to the grid. On April 26, 2022 he voted for House File 2128 on its final House vote, 81-13. It requires gas stations, with some exceptions, to sell E-15, a gasoline and ethanol blend.
Limit: Both passed by wide margins. Ethanol is not on his list, and neither bill tests the oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydro or wind parts of it.
