Q: Monte Shaw with America's Renewable Future "I believe back in 2007 you voted for the renewable fuel standard, which was a promise to America's farmers and consumers to have market access for fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. As president, would you keep that hard and fast promise as the law intends, through 2022 and beyond?"

A: Jim Webb:  "I did vote for that and I think the movement toward renewables is a very healthy thing for the country. As an engineer, I believe in finding technological solutions to problems. Even on the coal side, I'm a strong believer that you can reduce a lot of the energy systems. I went to the Naval Academy. Some of the brightest minds in the Naval Academy went into the nuclear power program. I'm very comfortable with the safety elements of nuclear power. It's clean in terms of environmentally, so we need to get a strong approach to all of them in order to maintain our independence, strategically and economically."
