East Lansing, MI –Two new TV spots feature Mike Rogers extolling the virtues of “harnessing the wind,” as well as the sun and biomass to reduce dependence on foreign oil. In one ad, Rogers lists wind, solar energy, American oil, alternative fuel and energy-efficient cars as ways to create jobs and make America energy-independent. In another, he mentions nuclear power, wind, solar energy and biomass with no reference to domestic oil.
Rogers’ Democratic challenger Bob Alexander (in a view supported by Friday’s endorsement of Alexander by The Lansing State Journal) points out that Rogers has voted consistently and recently against tax incentives for alternative energy, and in support of the domestic oil industry:

Bob Alexander selected by Senator Russ Feingold as one of his “Progressive Patriots”
Feingold, writes that the ten candidates selected as “Progressive Patriots,” are:
challengers in emerging races, all of whom were nominated by you. These candidates have worked hard and made their races competitive, often without much support from traditional Democratic institutions. I’d like to give their GOTV operations a big boost, but to do that we’re going to need your help. Our goal is to raise $50,000 so that we can contribute $5,000 to each of these 10 candidates.
