By electing Kay Hagan, North Carolinians can ensure that they have a champion fighting for their interests—and not those of Big Oil—in the critical energy battles that face the next Congress. As a member of the U.S. Senate, she will fight to increase the fuel economy standard for cars and trucks, and to invest in public transit and fuel efficiency technology. She will work to support the "green jobs" movement by creating jobs in the burgeoning fields of clean energy and energy efficiency. She will also work to end government handouts to Big Oil at the expense of North Carolina taxpayers. Kay Hagan will be a leader for North Carolina, getting us on track to a new energy future.
