MEDIA ALERT – June 18, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Robinson blasts Obama energy policy

Washington, D.C.-While in the nation’s capitol this week, Dr. Art Robinson, Republican candidate for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District responded to President Obama’ s demand that Americans end their addiction to fossil fuel. He said “The President fails to realize that the policies of his own party are the root cause of our inability to provide a reliable supply of domestic carbon based fuels. What he calls an addiction has powered the best standard of living, and the greatest economic accomplishments the world has ever known.”

“There is a very serious addiction that does need to be addressed, and that’s this President’s addiction to spending taxpayer money. My opponent, Pete DeFazio suffers from that same addiction. His record of profligate spending and imposing endless regulations on our industries is driving businesses into the ground and our jobs overseas.”

Dr. Robinson, who has worked in the field of energy research for two decades, and is the author of the petition project, signed by more than 31,000 American Scientists, opposing the false hypothesis of man-caused global warming, accused the Obama administration of “political posturing to the detriment of the people of the gulf states, and the clean-up efforts.”
“It’s time to stop castigating those who are the producers in this world, take the practical steps necessary to clean up the spill, and then initiate a free enterprise energy policy that is market based and one which allows America to become truly energy independent.”

The real problem according to Robinson is that career politicians in Washington, like Pete DeFazio, have become complacent and lazy. Instead of getting out of the way and letting the free market system determine the most efficient way to meet the energy needs of business and consumers; they have created a near impossible scenario forcing companies into costly and dangerous methods of energy exploration.

America needs a free competition between nuclear energy, carbon based energy and all other forms of energy production without government subsidies or impediments. If government would simply get out of the way, America’s engineers and entrepreneurs will build all of the 21st century energy systems we need with free enterprise capital and without cost to the

American taxpayer.
