Energy wisdom needed with candidates running for public office

2. More than 6,000 products rely on petrochemicals every day, many of which are essential to health, safety, mobility, agriculture, and national defense. What role do you believe petroleum-based products play in sustaining modern industrial civilization?

3. New nuclear reactor technologies are emerging worldwide How do you see nuclear power contributing to America's long-term electricity needs, and will America lead-or follow?

4. Are you willing to support international supply chains for minerals and metals that avoid child labor and environmental exploitation and what are your views on the ethical dimensions of global mining for critical minerals?

5. Emission reductions are possible without dismantling essential industries, so how should the United States balance oil use with efforts to reduce emissions?

6. Do you believe Earth's finite natural resources require a wiser approach to energy planning and consumption, and if so, what principles should guide national policy over the next half-century to maintain the supply chain of products and sufficient electricity to meet ever growing demands?

America-and the world-needs leaders who can think beyond slogans, beyond narrow categories of energy, and beyond short-term political cycles. Energy Wisdom is not about favoring one source over another. It is about recognizing the full industrial reality that sustains modern life and approaching energy decisions with humility, responsibility, and practical understanding. That is the kind of leadership the twenty-first century requires.
