One Question for Kenny Hulshof
U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, the Republican candidate for governor, visited with Post-Dispatch editors and writers this week. You’ll see more about our conversation later, but here’s a part of that conversation that focused on energy.
Mr. Hulshof has released an energy plan that calls for increased oil drilling in Missouri. We asked what he hopes to find, and how that fits into the larger issue of ensuring adequate energy supplies while transitioning to cleaner power sources.politics, governors race,

Doc, thanks for the valuable info. I’m pleased to hear in the remainder of his comments that he is one politician who has not arbitrarily closed the door on any of the potential contributions to resolving our energy problems.
Your lead in statement at the beginning of the video is very revealing. How many of us idiots do you expect to fall for your inference that Hulshof’s plan consists entirely of drilling in MO. Your wording of the lead is an example of PD journalism at its finest.
Why don’t we recycle al the BS Hulhof is spewing as a renewable energy resource?
Perhaps, he can blame Jay Nixon for not allowing drilling in Missouri before now!
Maybe we can build a new pipeline across Missouri for all the new oil, and get new construction jobs?
This after we all get degrees from community colleges becauise we ca no longer afford Mizzou!
