(Rochester, MN) - Today, Brian Davis, the endorsed Republican candidate for the First District of Minnesota, condemned Congressman Tim Walz's vote against energy development in the United States. H.R. 3089, the "No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007", failed to pass on a vote of 226 to 183.
The bill provides for lifting the congressional moratoria on drilling in the outer continental shelf which would potentially provide 17 billion barrels of oil. The bill also calls for encouraging new refinery construction, wind and nuclear power.
Dr. Davis stated, "It is irresponsible for Tim Walz to obstruct energy development in this country. Minnesota families continue to suffer while trying to pay for gasoline that is $4 per gallon. A recent poll showed that nearly 60% of Americans support such energy development."
Davis continued, "The agricultural economy is highly reliant on transportation and is feeling the shock of a doubling in gas prices since Tim Walz has been in office. Many people who need to commute to population centers for employment are having more difficulty making ends meet."
Davis concluded, "Every time someone fills up their tank they should consider who is representing them in Washington. Tim Walz isn't getting anything done to protect our pocketbooks from the high price of gas."
"There are solutions to our energy needs," reiterated Davis. "We must develop more domestic oil supplies and increase our refinery capacity because southern Minnesota residents demand action now."
