Jindal states that we should allow oil exploration in more U.S. places, like coastlines and wilderness areas so that we aren't so dependent on foreign oil, yet check out these statistics I found:
Rated 0% by the CAF, indicating opposition to energy independence.
Jindal scores 0% by CAF on energy issues
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 CAF scores as follows:

0% - 30%: opposition of energy independence (approx. 206 members)
30% - 70%: mixed record on energy independence (approx. 77 members)
70%-100%: support for energy independence (approx. 183 members)

He also talks about implementing clean/renewable energy, but he votes against most things that would help promote this.

Voted NO on removing oil & gas exploration subsidies. Creating Long-term Energy Alternatives for the Nation (CLEAN) Act
Opponents support voting NO because:
I am wearing this red shirt today, because this shirt is the color of the bill that we are debating, communist red. It is a taking. It will go to court, and it should be decided in court.
This bill will increase the competitive edge of foreign oil imported to this country. If the problem is foreign oil, why increase taxes and make it harder to produce American oil and gas? That makes no sense. We should insert taxes on all foreign oil imported. That would raise your money for renewable resources. But what we are doing here today is taxing our domestic oil. We are raising dollars supposedly for renewable resources, yet we are still burning fossil fuels.

First off, our problems with global warming and depleting environment aren't going to change if we can't stop saying we are are going to implement clean renewable energy, yet still working with oil. We've had the technology for solar, and wind power for YEARS ..theres no reason why more can't be done right now.

If I were on Jindals campaign team I would have to make his position on these issues look positive. He does want money raised for renewable resources and our dependence on foreign oil to start. He also believes in creating more jobs here in the U.S. with clean gas, since most of them are currently overseas. He is aware of the fact that by working on renewable resources we will create thousands of green jobs--helping to stimulate the economy and put a damper on global warming.
This amendment takes out all of the energy production. It is a callous disregard for the jobs that have been lost over the last 30 years of following an anti-energy policy. The people who work in oil and gas, their jobs are in the Middle East or Canada. We have exported their jobs. If this amendment passes, we are going to send the rest of them. We should know how important it is to create jobs in this country, to create clean natural gas in this country, so that it can be the bridge to the future.
