"Energy Issues Factor In Battle For Senate"

"Energy will play a major role in at least five races that could determine control of the Senate next year.

President Obama’s controversial climate policy is looming large in Ohio and Illinois, where the coal industry still employs thousands, while battle lines are being drawn in Colorado, pitting environmentalists against oil and gas companies over drilling.

In New Hampshire, the Republican incumbent, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, is racing to shore up her credibility with green-minded voters, while hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, offshore drilling, and solar power could move a decisive number of voters in the race to replace Sen. Marco Rubio (R) in Florida."
