Greg Stanton on Energy & Oil

Invest more federal dollars into solar and wind

Greg Stanton: Climate change is real and it affects all of us, especially in the desert. I will work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure the Colorado river system is efficiently utilized and work to invest more federal dollars into solar and wind--creating clean energy jobs that will strengthen our economy. Alternatives to fossil fuels are the future and it is up to us to invest wisely and do our part to combat climate change.

During my time as Mayor, I'm proud of what we did to make Phoenix an internationally recognized city for sustainable practice. We committed to honoring the Paris Climate Accords after President Trump withdrew, we converted city vehicles to alternative fuel, diverted more waste than ever from landfill, and invested in solar.

PVS:Fund renewable energy like wind and solar.

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Energy & Environment: Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
