Republican 2nd District congressional
candidate Marvin Parks embraced President Bush`s long-stalled
energy plan today.
Parks also accused Democratic incumbent Vic Snyder of standing
in the way of initiatives that could ease the nation`s energy
crunch.
Parks and Snyder are opponents in the November general election.
Parks spoke with reporters today in a telephone conference.
Parks is a three-term state representative from Greenbrier. He
said, if elected, he would vote to drill for oil in the Alaskan
outback.
Parks also said he would support tax credits for private energy
research and development and support incentives for new energy
technologies.
Parks said the Bush administration policies could reduce the
nation`s dependence on foreign oil.
