Edwards Announces Plan to Take on Big Oil in NH - Campaigns & Elections (press release)- Topic: $300 Payday Advance
At town hall meetings in Meredith and Rochester today, Edwards announced his plan to provide immediate relief for families facing unaffordable home heating costs and highlighted his proposals for taking on big oil and gas companies to halt global warming and build a new energy economy based on efficiency and renewable energy. Today, he called on Congress to release some of the nation’s home heating and oil reserves and finally fully fund the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which could help 20,000 more New Hampshire families. As president, he will investigate the anticompetitive actions of the oil industry; strengthen antitrust laws to make oil and gas companies liable for anticompetitive acts; reverse Enron-era deregulation of energy markets to restore transparency and oversight; end taxpayer subsidies for oil companies; and require oil companies to invest in clean reliable refineries.
