Party Platform


Oppose further oil and gas drilling or exploration

We oppose further oil and gas drilling or exploration--especially in other countries, on our nation’s outer continental shelf, on our public lands, in the Rocky Mountains, and under the Great Lakes.

Commit to developing clean renewable energy technologies

We call for a Manhattan Project-level commitment to developing clean renewable energy technologies - technologies that do not create pollution in the course of generating electricity. These can include wind, solar (including solar thermal and concentrating solar), ocean power, geothermal, and small-scale hydro. Since even clean renewable energy can have negative environmental impacts, care must be taken to minimize such impacts.
