Indiana Senate candidate Dan Coats, a Republican, addressed his biggest political concerns to Ball State University students and faculty this afternoon.
"Getting the economy back on track and keeping America safe from threats from abroad are serious challenges that require serious determination, analysis, and judgment in terms of how we proceed," he said.
After releasing his energy solutions plan, Coats expressed his interest in learning about Ball State's geothermal project.
"I am very supportive of all alternative forms of energy that will put us in a better state to not be so dependent on foreign sources, particularly oil from the Middle East," he said. "[Geothermal energy] is one of those domestic resources that needs to be used to substitute for the cost of importing energy sources here that puts us in awkward positions politically, military-wise and cost-wise."
