Rep. Tancredo visits NH, talks about global warming and energy

-- brucebc -- 06/26/2007

This past Saturday, Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo paid a short visit to New Hampshire where he held a town hall meeting and a house party.  At the town hall meeting, he discussed a variety of issues including his stances on global warming and energy, emissions caps, and fuel efficiency standards. On global warming he said:

"Research is not conclusive on either side of the issue. Is it natural? Most evidence does not substantiate that it comes from human activity, but we do need to move away from petroleum based products for security reasons. We're giving billions of dollars to nations who are figuring out ways to kill us! I believe that nuclear energy is the answer, and we need to move quickly to reduce carbons in our atmosphere. Storage has been an ongoing problem, but new technology is working towards a solution."
