Understanding the nuanced dynamics of the oil and gas sectors, my platform proposes a compassionate just transition strategy. I recognize that completely phasing out these industries is impractical and could jeopardize the livelihoods of countless families.

Instead, I support a balanced approach, offering retraining programs, economic diversification initiatives, and social safety nets to ensure that workers and their communities can thrive in a changing economic landscape without sacrificing their financial security.

My vision is a future where climate justice prevails, powered by clean energy, fortified by strong community safeguards, and guided by a just and equitable transition for all.

I believe in universal net metering to ensure that everyone can contribute to and benefit from clean energy, making the generation and sale of electricity accessible and equitable. Clean energy is not just an environmental imperative but a significant economic opportunity. I advocate for democratizing electricity generation and sales, promoting initiatives like community solar to empower individuals and businesses.

I stand for the establishment of a national renewable portfolio standard (RPS) that ambitiously targets increasing our use of renewable energy sources. Central to this goal is a substantial solar carve-out, emphasizing the pivotal role of solar energy, particularly community solar, in democratizing the benefits of the clean energy economy. By enabling more Americans to produce, use, and sell solar energy, we not only combat climate change but also open up significant economic opportunities for individuals and communities nationwide. I am committed to ensuring that solar energy becomes a cornerstone of our energy policy, making clean energy accessible and profitable for all
