Michele Bachmann's environmental record | MNN - Mother Nature Network
Bachmann sides with Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) when it comes global warming. She believes it’s all a conspiracy. “The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It's all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax," she said in a Minnesota Public Radio story. Because Bachmann doesn't buy the idea that emissions from power plants, cars, trucks and industry are trapping heat and warming the planet, she’s against any plan to fix that issue. Her voting record, and her rhetoric, support her “hokum” stance.

Roll back those light bulb rules
... In 2007, Bachmann voted against the now-controversial ethanol subsidy program that has since given large amounts of federal assistance to domestic corn producers.

Bachmann is all for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). She has called ANWR “perfect for drilling,” and says, “it beats Saudi Arabia.”
...
Bachmann was a strong opponent of the Obama-backed “Cash for Clunkers” program when it was introduced, and she remains a critic of the program to this day.
