Al Franken will put Minnesota on the road to economic recovery through energy independence
It’s time to end the oil and gas industries’ stranglehold on America. Al Franken will end our dependence on foreign oil and create jobs in Minnesota. Al Franken knows that through Minnesota’s natural resources and the creativity and innovation of our people, we can achieve energy independence.
Creating Jobs by Investing in Renewable Energy
By investing in clean, renewable energy projects that will benefit our environment, we will also create good jobs in research and development, manufacturing and clean technology. Like the Ford Motor plant in St. Paul. We should be using this plant to build more fuel-efficient, hybrid vehicles and save good-paying manufacturing jobs in the process.
Tax Breaks for Minnesota Families
Giving families tax breaks to make their homes more energy-efficient will help improve Minnesota air quality and help families lower their energy costs. Al Franken will help end the era of tax breaks for oil companies and begin the era of tax breaks for Minnesota families.
Harnessing Minnesota’s Natural Resources
Minnesota’s natural resources are not just our corn, soybeans and wind, it’s the creativity, ingenuity and hard work of our people and the beauty of our natural environment. Al Franken will bring our talent, hard work and natural resources together to help create a renewable energy industry that will provide high-paying jobs and bring an end to our dependence on foreign oil.
