Robert Reich on Energy & Oil

Former Secretary of Labor; Democratic Challenger MA Governor


Encourage low-emissions and hybrid vehicles

I'm in favor of low-emissions rules for automobiles and encouraging hybrid vehicles and I'll explore ways of economically encouraging the purchase by consumers and businesses of fuel efficient, low emission vehicles.

Jump-start renewable energy & reduce power-plant emissions

I want to jump-start renewable energy: I support vigorous expansion of the Renewable Energy Trust, and tough and timely regulations to accelerate the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard.

As Governor I'll also make sure we fully implement our power-plant emissions rules, requiring a 50 to 75 percent decline in emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide over the next few years, and reducing emissions of mercury and CO2.
