McDonnell’s latest commercial advocates for his “all of the above” approach to energy, which he thinks will bring new jobs to Virginia:
The Democrats called the ad “more of the same”.
“[McDonnell] promises energy jobs NOW, but he’s already dismissed alternative energy and hasn’t shown how he can expand traditional oil drilling anytime during the next four years,” said the DPVA in a release.
I’m not sure where they got that picture from. A core pillar of the McDonnell plan is “Support Alternative and Renewable Forms of Energy and make Virginia a “Green Jobs Zone” and “Explore and Drill for Oil and Natural Gas off Virginia’s Coast”.
And why aren’t we drilling within four years? Ask the Democrats and Gov. Kaine.
