NY-21 congressional candidates answer climate change questions

an interesting read, particularly in light of recent discussions in class.

The questions are as follows. Read the article here to see the candidates responses!
(I assume "Stefanik" simply never responded to the questionnaire. But she is known as a "climate denier"...)
  1. Do you believe that climate change is real and is caused by human use of fossil fuels?
  2. Do you support new laws or regulations to reduce carbon emissions? If so, what will you do to help create new laws or regulations to reduce carbon emissions?
  3. What is your position on the EPA’s draft Clean Power Rule currently in public hearing?
  4. What is your position on the Keystone XL pipeline project?
  5. What is your position on the expansion of crude oil processing at the Port of Albany and an increase in transportation by railroad through the Adirondacks of Bakken crude oil?
  6. If elected on the House of Representatives, what will you do on the issue of climate change in your first year in office?
  7. Please add any other statement you would like to make about the issue of climate change.
