I side the most with Jill Stein on environmental issues in the 2012 Presidential election.
You side on environmental issues with...
Global Warming
Somewhat Important to me
Is Global Warming a threat to the environment?
You, Obama, Stein and Anderson: Yes, we should devote government resources to preventing it
Johnson's similar answer: Regardless, we should incentivize the private sector to develop cleaner and efficient fuels
Oil Drilling
Somewhat Important to me
Should we expand our offshore oil drilling?
You: Incentivize the private sector to develop alternative forms of energy
Johnson's similar answer: Deregulate and let the free market determine the best energy sources
Obama's similar answer: Yes, we should expand oil drilling so we are less dependent on foreign oil
National Parks
Somewhat Important to me
Should U.S. National Parks and Forests continue to be preserved and protected by the federal government?
You: Yes, but allow more public access
Stein's similar answer: Yes
Alternative Engery
Somewhat Important to me
Should the federal government continue to give tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry?
You: Tax breaks are fine but it should not be subsidised. All subsidies should be cut to fossil fuels too.
