Issue Position: Climate Change and the Environment

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018

Vermont must be a leader on climate change, which is human-caused and can be addressed by intentional measures. I am fully in favor of a move to 100% renewable energy and would work to expand both solar energy and wind power in the appropriate circumstances. I support working with the industry to make renewable more affordable and more prevalent, and I would consider a carbon tax if it holds low income people harmless. We must also continue to address clean up our waterways and find a sustainable, dedicated funding source for this clean-up.
