MEDFORD TOWNSHIP - Chris Myers, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, announced a 13-point energy platform Wednesday afternoon, as Democratic candidate John Adler re-released an energy policy he first announced in July.Myers and Adler agree on more points than they disagree. Both call for investing in solar, bio diesel and geothermal energy, providing tax incentives for energy-efficient buildings and improving car mileage standards.The candidates differ sharply in some areas, though, such as whether to subsidize oil companies. Adler campaign manager Mark Warren stated in the press release that "Chris Myers is out advocating for tax breaks for big oil companies who continue to report record profits," and one of the proposals in Adler's plan would cut subsidies for oil companies.Myers rejected cutting the subsidies, saying it would likely increase gas prices and send jobs elsewhere.
