Issue Position: Green Economy & Climate Action

Issue Position

Every time Vermonters spend $1 on heating oil or gasoline, 75 cents leaves the state. We can keep that money within our local economies by weatherizing our homes, electrifying our vehicles, and generating our own renewable energy. By investing in disaster-ready infrastructure, smart transit, and efficiency technology, we can create good paying jobs, start new companies, and find solutions for the future. I believe that Vermont is ready to be a national leader in addressing the challenges and opportunities posed by climate change. As a representative, I would support the Global Warming Solutions Act, the Transportation Climate Initiative, as well as investments in climate specific workforce development.
