AEHQ: Candidates Duel on Energy Policy

The focus for both sides on the campaign trail on Tuesday was energy.  Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney kicked things off with a campaign stop in coal country – Ohio.

FOX News Radio’s Jennifer Keiper was in Beallsville with Romney:

On Day 2 of the Hawkeye State swing, the President’s bus, making a stop at a wind farm in central Iowa.

(President Obama) “Fifty-two turbines that harvest enough wind power to power an estimated 30,000 Iowa homes in a way that is clean and renewable.”

President Obama, pointing out the 7,000 jobs in Iowa – and 75,000 across the country – created by the wind energy.  It’s a police in sharp contrast with his Republican rival – Mitt Romney, supporting an end to tax credits for wind energy.  The President, calling to scrap subsidies for oil companies.
