2018 DE Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Chuck Boyce: Clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs by 3:1

Nationwide, clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs by more than 3:1. In particular, the solar industry employed 43% of electric power sector's workforce in 2016. This type of private sector economic boom to our environmental troubles is the type of solution I would foster in the US Senate.

Chuck Boyce: Supports tax credits for clean energy

I fully support private sector solutions such as his to our global environmental problem by providing tax credits to companies that produce clean energy, and trickle down the same incentive to those that use it. Renewable energy is great for the environment AND the economy. Did you know clean energy jobs outnumber fossil fuel jobs by almost 3 to 1? Business magnate Elon Musk has helped propel green energy through his companies, SolarCity and Tesla.
