ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

1. Should the government increase environmental regulations to prevent global warming?

2. Should National Parks continue to be preserved and protected by the federal government?

3. Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

4. Should the United States require labeling of genetically engineered foods?

5. Should the U.S. expand offshore oil drilling?

6. Should the federal government continue to give tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry?


1 - no, absolutely not.

2 - Yes, within reason, but they have to work with the oil drillers up in Alaska in the process. They've also got to relax the gun laws within the boundaries of national parks. And get the EPA da fuq outta of our national parks.

3 - Yes, absolutely.

4 - Yes

5 - Yes

6 - Yes, absolutely, and the solar industry as well just like they do the oil and natural gas industry. But set a standard and show something for it in return.

We're quickly spiraling towards fiscal policy now, but I'll just add this.


Yeah

It's all tied together though. Honestly for me, fiscal policy drives almost everything.

Governments are just a means of deciding who gets what resources, so it does always circle back to where the money goes.

No, because we have done enough. We should push to get China/India on board because they are the biggest offender of dumping pollutants into the environment.
