QUOTES
GHP: “The American public is looking to their leaders to establish sound, comprehensive energy policy that ensures both adequate supply and environmental stewardship. Coupled with global market conditions, presidential candidates are facing issues such as high oil costs, geopolitical conflict, supply access, rising infrastructure costs, and heightened awareness of the need for greater environmental protections….high costs and the complexity of alternative solutions have led to increased concern among Americans… Energy will be a principle topic in the 2008 presidential election…”
