Nader Policy: Energy

The best science tells us that the planet is heating up at a rate that, over the next century, will bring disruption to economic and social activity on a scale similar to those associated with the great wars and the economic depression of the first half of the 20th century. While the climate is a complex system, there is a simple reason why it is changing so quickly. It is because we use the atmosphere as a free dumping ground for billions of tons of greenhouse gases annually, six billion of which come from the US alone.

Nader/Gonzalez would no longer subsidize entrenched oil, nuclear, electric, coal mining, and biofuel interests. Instead, Nader/Gonzalez would invest in an energy policy that is efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Nader/Gonzalez would invest in a diversified and proven energy policy including renewable energies like wind and other solar power.
