Libertarian: This party's presidential nominee is Bob Barr, running with Wayne Allyn Root as his vice presidential nominee. Barr's energy policy states that the federal government should eliminate both restrictions and subsidies on all types of energy production (presumably this includes renewable energy). He also recommends drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

In a statement on energy and global warming, Barr insists that "the scientific community has been unable to make definitive judgments as to the past cause or future course of climate change."

Barr's adds his opinion on energy efficiency and consumption: "Attempting to adjust global temperatures by artificially cutting energy consumption would undermine the very prosperous and innovative market system."

The Libertarian Party blames the government as "the greatest single polluter in the U.S." However, the party platform opposes government regulation in most forms.
