This post is part of a series examining where 2024 candidates running for public offices in the Southeast stand on key energy and climate issues. Note: The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy does not support or oppose candidates or political parties. Links to reports, candidate websites, and outside sources are provided as citizen education tools.
In this blog post, we examine the policies and positions of Laurie Buckhout, Republican Party candidate running for election to represent North Carolina Congressional District 1 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also in this series, we profile Democratic candidate Don Davis. Election Day is November 5, 2024.
Buckhout, a retired U.S. Army colonel, served 26 years with the Army’s Signal Corps branch. After retiring from the Army in 2010, Buckhout formed Corvus Consulting, a company that specialized in electronic warfare and cyberspace operations. She later sold the company and moved with her family from Virginia to Edenton in 2019.
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Buckhout has made no public comments about renewable energy or energy efficiency that we have found.
Climate Change and Electric Transportation
Laurie Buckhout said about addressing climate change and electric transportation, “I think any efforts to address climate change must be realistic. The Biden administration forcing automobile manufacturers to produce electric vehicles that most folks in NC-1 can’t afford or can’t use is not the answer.”
Energy Equity and Energy Burden
On X, Laurie Buckhout has reposted a tweet critical of Joe Biden for the high price of electricity during his term.
High-Risk Energy: Coal, Nuclear, Oil, Gas
On X, Laurie Buckhout has criticized Joe Biden for canceling an order to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve due to high oil prices.
Laurie Buckhout has spoken out repeatedly against economic regulation: “Everyone’s crazy to legislate, legislate, legislate,” she said. “Remember Ronald Reagan, deregulate, deregulate, deregulate capitalism. A country flourishes best with the least regulation of capitalism.”

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.
No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.
You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.
Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.
We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
