Green energy is the future of Nebraska

Green party candidate Steve Larrick continued to stress the importance of one issue in particular. "I think green energy is the future of Nebraska. I think renewable energy creates a great net gain of energy and that's what we have in wind and solar. We needed to have been investing in those technologies," he said.

More ethanol; more emission controls; more alternative fuels

Strengthen emission controls.
Strengthen fuel efficiency standards.
Encourage further development and use of alternative fuels.
Support the use of ethanol as an alternativ fuel.
Support international mandatory or voluntary emission targets to limit global warming.
Larrick adds, "We need to bring down the cap on corn-based ethanol production and increase cellulosic development."
