2022 UT Senate race: on Energy & Oil


Austin Searle: Improving energy efficiency impacts climate change

Energy efficiency reduces emissions from power plants, improves grid resilience during periods of electricity demand, saves consumers money, and creates jobs in the building and energy sectors. Improving energy efficiency includes insulating your water heater and pipes, installing a programmable thermostat, swapping out light bulbs, replacing appliances before they die, cleaning and replacing filters, etc.

Austin Searle: Infrastructure investments can reduce emissions

Congress will be instrumental in designing and funding any new federal infrastructure package. Infrastructure investments can reduce emissions and improve resilience to the climate impacts we are already experiencing. For instance, a modernized grid can better distribute renewable power and make communities more resilient to extreme weather. Any new infrastructure should get built to last, with impacts like rising sea levels and increasingly frequent heatwaves in mind.
