Pennacchio, Andrews push energy issues
TRENTON - With escalating gasoline and energy costs, two of New
Jersey's five U.S. Senate candidates have made the cost of powering
our lives an issue in the upcoming election.
Republican candidate and state Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, D-Morris,
Passaic, said on his campaign Web site that he dedicated his campaign
as well as his time as state senator to securing energy independence
within a decade.
. . .
Pennacchio said American leaders should have pushed for alternative
fuels following the 1973 oil crisis, writing 17 years ago, "How much
longer can the United States be held hostage to foreign oil cartels?"
He also called for research into cold fusion, a tantalizingly
unproven theory of nuclear reaction at about room temperature and
standard atmospheric pressure.
