| Environment, a General Statement |
Arkansas, also known as the Natural State , is home to 600,000 acres of lakes, 9,700 miles of streams and rivers, and over 2.6 million acres of national forests. We need to do all we can to preserve this land for our families as well as future generations. I also strongly believe that we must protect the air we breathe and the water we drink.

| Global Warming, Climate Change |
Arkansans have been very vocal about potential climate change legislation. There are many unknowns about the effectiveness and ramifications of a cap and trade system, but there are also consequences if we do nothing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. My support for energy legislation hinges on several factors. It must contain costs and prevent harm to the U.S. economy, invest aggressively in new technologies and their deployment, treat states equitably, protect U.S manufacturing jobs, fully recognize agriculture and forestry's role, and ensure other developing nations are active participants in reducing emissions.
