I support transitioning to 100% clean electricity by 2035
I support transitioning to 100% clean electricity by 2035. America is one of the wealthiest countries on earth, and it's time we lead with both our technological ability and our values to combat climate change.
It's time to leave the old ways of thinking behind and transition to a clean energy economy that creates good paying union jobs and opportunities to bolster our economy moving forward.

Alex Padilla:
Got state agency to increase use of renewable energy
Alex was elected to the Los Angeles City Council as a political outsider at the age of 26. He fought to close and limit the expansion of the landfills that had plagued his community for so long, to clean up local air and water and to
face climate change by requiring the city's biggest polluter, the Department of Water and Power, to dramatically increase renewable energy.

I want cheap abundant energy that all Americans can access
The Democrats declared a war of fossil fuel and the American people lost I want cheap abundant energy that all Americans can access. The night Joe Biden got elected gas futures went through the roof. Biden reentered the United States in the
Paris Agreement, revoked the Keystone XL pipeline's permit and ordering a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal land and water areas created a chilling affect on the oil industry directly driving prices through the roof!

Needn't choose between clean environment & affordable energy
Pennsylvania is the second largest energy producer in the U.S., one of the top ten producers globally, and if it were a country, it would have the 4th largest natural gas reserves in the world. At the same time, the Commonwealth has been a leader in
reducing emissions. We don't need to choose between a clean environment and affordable energy. Pennsylvania is proof we can have both.

We understand that protecting our environment is multi-faceted and often best understood by local or state communities rather than federal one-size-fits-all mandates. We need common sense environmental solutions that actually work rather than
the window dressing and virtue signaling policies that exist today. We must maintain and increase our production capabilities in the United States and stop outsourcing them to countries with lower cleanliness standards and higher carbon emissions.

Encourage transition to "nearly free" wind and solar energy
Wind, solar, and solar-thermal technology not only help our climate, create jobs, and produce nearly free energy, but can also give us the added boost we need to finally break free from these petrol-political alliances that have cost us so much.
We must encourage transitioning to these free sources of energy by providing long-term state and federal tax incentives. This will create even more higher paying jobs at home while also decreasing our energy costs.
