Scott Kleeb on Energy & Oil

 


Develop a new energy economy

In both clean fuel technologies and green collar jobs, America has an opportunity to not only develop a new energy economy, and drive down costs for consumers but also give millions of Americans new high-wage jobs that reward efficiency, redevelop our infrastructure, and most importantly, cannot be exported overseas.

Renewable energy create new industries and jobs

Renewable sources of energy create new industries and hundreds of thousands of jobs, while decreasing costs for the average consumer. While at the same time, a new energy economy--or green collar jobs--makes our country safer by cutting our dependence on foreign oil and decreasing pollution.

Grant program for early adopters of energy efficiency codes

Establish a Grant Program for Early Adopters: Create a competitive grant program to award those states and localities that take the first steps to implement new building codes that prioritize energy efficiency.

Encourage next generation bio-fuels

Support the next generation of bio-fuels by investing federal resources, either in tax incentives, cash prizes or government contracts for developing the most promising technologies for cellulosic ethanol production. Furthermore, expand locally-owned bio-fuel refineries by creating incentives for rural communities to own and operate their own facilities thus better supporting agricultural economies.

Moral test of our lifetime is combating climate change

We confront tremendous challenges: skyrocketing debt and growing budget deficits; rising trade imbalances and falling wages; a global threat of extremism and division with a damaged reputation in the world; and--as if each of those was not enough--we also face the moral test of our lifetime in combating climate change and achieving true energy independence.
