Roberts Votes against Renewable Energy Tax Incentives as T. Boone Pickens Calls for Wind Energy in Kansas
Roberts' Votes in the Senate Helped Create Four Dollar Gas
In an effort to draw attention away from his own history of voting repeatedly against renewable energy tax incentives and for billion dollar tax breaks for big oil companies, Pat Roberts’ latest attack ad tries to pinpoint the rising gas prices on one person – his opponent.
“The last thing Pat Roberts can afford is to have voters asking questions about his record. But the pattern is clear. Pat Roberts will always vote for Big Oil and then use their campaign contributions to attack his opponent so he doesn't have to defend his own actions,” said Kansas Democratic Party Executive Director Mike Gaughan.

Roberts Voted Against Efforts to Lower Gas Prices
Today, Senator Pat Roberts voted against the Stop Excessive Energy Speculation Act. Experts believe market speculation is contributing to the high price of oil.
The bill would have been an important first step towards reducing the price of gas.
"When you have Sen. Pat Roberts outsourcing energy policy to the big oil companies, it’s no wonder we get $4 gas and they get $600 billion profits," said Kansas Democratic Party Executive Director Mike Gaughan. "Sen. Roberts have proven that he cannot be trusted to help break America’s dependence on oil."
