Kay knows our country is at a crisis point and we need an energy policy that reduces our dependence on foreign oil, creates new jobs, and dramatically reduces the effects of global climate change. When it comes to our economy, our environment, and our national security, energy is one of the most important issues we face as a nation and as a community.
Kay was part of the effort to make North Carolina a leader in requiring power companies to use renewable energy sources. In the U.S. Senate, she will fight to reduce home heating fuel prices, push for higher fuel economy standards and replace tax breaks for Big Oil companies with new incentives for clean energy entrepreneurs. She will increase funding for research and development of energy sources such as wind, hydro, solar and biofuels. In order to help North Carolina and nearby states alleviate their water shortage and minimize the impact of future droughts, Kay will push for increased water conservation efforts, and she will encourage states and communities to work with each other.
