North Carolina's two main gubernatorial candidates clashed over energy policies and debates Friday, while casting themselves as champions of open government and enemies of the status quo. Republican Pat McCrory and Democrat Bev Perdue made their comments in separate appearances before editors and publishers of the N.C. Press Association. McCrory took the occasion to unveil a new energy initiative that combines conservation, new oil Drilling and a push for alternative fuels. Part of his plan would extend land-use planning and some form of mass transit across the state, much as he has done as mayor of Charlotte. He also called for tax incentives for individuals and businesses to build energy efficient, or “green,” buildings. But he repeated his support for offshore oil Drilling, royalties from which he said would flow into North Carolina for coastal conservation programs. “I've been told this will not create jobs,” he said. “You're wrong.” In response to critics who say any benefits would be decades away, he said, “What are we waiting for?” Perdue said Drilling would never occur during her administration. “On my watch, we'll never solve the gas problem by Drilling off the coast of North Carolina,” she said. “That's politically popular. If you want somebody who looks at a poll and gets solutions, that's not me.” McCrory also chided his opponent for not agreeing to more debates.

[ Correction: I mistakenly wrote per year when I should have written per day . Drilling will produce 220,000 barrels per day, and more fuel efficient cars would save 300,000 barrels of oil per day, making the latter a better option by 80,000 barrels per day. Thanks for finding the mistake!] ... ...
