East Fishkill, NY/July 20, 2008 - Kieran Michael Lalor, the Republican candidate seeking to unseat freshman Democrat Congressman John Hall, today announced the launch of EnergySecurity2008.com. The website is dedicated to solutions to the energy crisis.

"American energy security is a vital component of our economic security and national security," said Lalor. "For too many years, America's approach to energy policy has been rooted in pure complacency. Congress has over-regulated and taxed energy consumption, strangled the supply of oil and electricity, and now let the American taxpayers foot the bill for the resulting high prices."

"We need a comprehensive energy policy that combines all of the answers in front of us," added Lalor. "To lower gas prices we need to drill more, refine more, tax less, regulate less, and encourage innovation in the private sector. We need to expand the use of nuclear power to meet our growing energy needs. Private industry should be encouraged to develop alternatives and renewables with results-based financial prizes. Finally, all levels of government have a responsibility to aggressively enforce laws that protect consumers from criminal wrongdoing that makes energy costs even higher."

"We can't afford to ignore any solutions. American prosperity depends on a comprehensive energy policy. EnergySecurity2008.com is dedicated to developing a comprehensive solution for the future."
