-Caveat Lector- Senator Hillary Clinton ( New York ) - Although not a native New Yorker, Ms. Clinton has taken on the toughness of one on the ANWR issue. "The answer to our energy challenge does not lie under the plains of the Arctic Refuge, but in the minds that are ingenious in America ." Clinton goes on, "I continue to oppose drilling in the Arctic Refuge because it would damage a pristine wilderness but do almost nothing to decrease our oil dependence or reduce energy costs. Instead, we need to pursue a sustainable energy policy that cuts our oil dependence by developing new fuels and more efficient vehicles, like the 'plug-in' hybrids that promise dramatic increases in fuel economy." Senator Clinton has rallied with the likes of Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Maria Cantwell on directly blocking ANWR legislation. Senator Clinton is vociferously against exploration for oil and gas pretty much nationwide. Instead falling back to the familiar cry for renewable resources, higher CAFE standards and bio-fuels. If we were to rank the presidential candidates on ANWR Clinton would be close to the bottom of the pile. The League of Conservation Voters gives Clinton an outstanding score of 90 on the green-o-meter, making her one of Alaska 's biggest resource development foes. Senator Clinton proposes a Strategic Energy Fund stating, " by taking money away from the oil companies, by giving them the choice to invest in renewable energy or pay into the fund. We would take away their tax subsidies as well, and we would use this fund to create a clean-energy industry and millions of jobs in America ." On other energy alternatives, Clinton is big on wind, solar, and bio-fuels, but negative on coal and nuclear. It is interesting to know Clinton has traveled to and worked in Alaska although temporarily, and considers it a wonderful accomplishment in her life.

New York produces roughly 300,000 barrels of oil per year and 19 million cf of natural gas a year. This is a mere drop in the national bucket yet New York is a big producer of refined petroleum products and is the largest supplier in the Northeast (and the largest supply hub in America ). The Empire State is almost entirely reliant on imports of oil and gas to do so. New York , along with its NE neighbors, is heavily dependent on fuel oil for heating homes and is a subscriber of the Northeast Heating Oil Reserve, a smaller version of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. NY is one of the largest hydroelectric producers in the eastern US, but produces almost no solar or wind power. New York uses four nuclear reactors which supply most of its electricity. New Yorkers have one of the lowest energy consumption per capita levels (due to high number of apartment dwellers and high use of mass transit), and yet the state is one of the largest consumers of energy due to its refining and manufacturing industry. Boutique fuels are mandated in the Big Apple and other urban centers.
