Andy Levin: Stopping global warming is a moral imperative, but it's also an economic opportunity. I created a statewide market to finance clean energy building improvements, creating good jobs while reducing emissions and improving public health, air and water quality. We can speed the deployment of solar, wind, biomass, and other clean energy along with advanced batteries to store the new energy we create. I will work to accelerate the transition to sustainability through many means, and help make our state a leader in clean energy technology, which will create reliable, good-paying jobs and protect the environment.
Haley Stevens: Like it or not, climate change is real and we need to start acting accordingly. During the Auto Rescue we not only helped save GM and Chrysler, we did it while improving fuel efficiency standards and spurring American auto companies to build the cars of the future. We implemented Cash for Clunkers, an incentive-based program that allowed consumers to trade in old, environmentally inefficient vehicles for 21st century models. We can have industry and a clean environment, but only with leaders in Congress who are willing to get the job done.
Rashida Tlaib: I will fight to restore Obama-era environmental protections and incentivize the expansion of renewable energy projects in order [to] phase out dirty fossil fuels that compromise our air and water quality.
Tlaib: I support a green new deal to put people to work building a renewable green energy infrastructure that can help us fight climate change and protect our communities. The automakers in Michigan are making strides to build cleaner cars, and it's encouraging that increasingly these high-tech projects are happening right here in Metro Detroit.
