Spill emerges as campaign issue across the nation. The Boston Globe. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/06/30/spill_emerges_as_campaign_issue_far_from_the_gulf/?page=2. June 30, 2010.Due to the recent oil spill in the Gulf, candidates voice their opinion on whether drilling off their shores is a state or federal decision. Ayotte believes that the choice to drill for oil is a state decision, and if New Hampshire disagrees with drilling, she would not allow drilling off her state’s coast.

“Protecting our environment is an important goal that should be pursued without mandating expensive, over-sized solutions that could harm our economy. I oppose the “cap and trade” legislation pending in Congress – it’s a de facto national energy tax that would stifle job creation.”

Technology

Energy. http://www.ayotteforsenate.com/content/energy. Ayotte believes in conservation of energy and expanding domestic energy. She supports developing technology to set up more efficient, cleaner methods of energy production for natural gas, oil, nuclear, coal, hydro, and renewables such as wind and solar. This can also create new jobs.

“I will work to repeal the federal takeover of health care and replace it with common sense market-based reforms. We can expand access and bring down costs by allowing for the purchase of insurance across state lines, enabling small businesses to pool together to buy coverage, and passing medical liability reform.”
