Energy Among The Top Presidential Campaign Issues

With crude oil, gasoline, and home heating oil prices near all-time highs, energy security in the US is one of the most common themes among the presidential candidates. While Democratic and Republican candidates alike agree that energy security should be high on the next president’s agenda, their plans for achieving that goal vary widely.

“For the new president, perhaps the most important first step in developing a policy for energy security will be to establish the right process for progress — one that is fully inclusive and transparent,” said Marcela Donadio, Ernst and Young’s oil and gas leader for the Americas. “Oil and gas companies should have a seat at the table alongside environmental leaders, renewable energy developers and energy efficiency experts.”
