	Gary Trauner on Energy & Oil

Diversify into renewables from coal and natural gas

Trauner says the state needs to diversify its economy and energy production by embracing new technology and pursuing renewable energy alongside coal and natural gas production. He also mentioned investment in high quality, stable broadband internet as a way to encourage new business and manufacturing in the state.

"People are fed up with blind partisanship," continued Trauner. "They just want to see things get done."

"It takes building bridges, it takes listening and talking to people you disagree with on a lot of things but may agree with on specific things you can find common ground on," said Trauner.

Trauner says he is "country before party" and believes Sen. Barrasso is more interested in party. "I get comments from people all the time from all over the political spectrum saying 'I'm kinda tired of seeing him stand behind (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell'" said Trauner. "We need to get back to doing what is good for everybody, not just good for your party."

Develop clean energy sources as an essential goal

I believe the search for sustainable energy independence is the issue of our time. It affects our national security, jobs, our economy and our environment, and it must be a cornerstone of our government's policy. The federal government should actively work with private industry to encourage conservation, efficiency and continued development of a wide-variety of stable and clean energy sources for the future.
