Jim Lamon: Against Green New Deal, for natural gas and solar

A Fortune 500 executive with more than 30 years' experience in the engineering and construction of large-scale power plants, Jim Lamon is the Founder and Chairman of DEPCOM Power, headquartered in Arizona. Responsible for creating 1,600 jobs across the country, DEPCOM is one of the fastest-growing solar power companies in the U.S. and was ranked the fifth fastest-growing private company in the U.S. by Inc. 5000 in 2018.

American energy independence is essential to our national security and prosperity. From 20 years working in the coal and natural gas power industry, to founding one of our country's fastest-growing solar companies, I know what it takes to power America. Instead of pursuing socialists' Green New Deal, I will sponsor energy policy that benefits American workers, businesses, ratepayers, and our environment by prioritizing a low-cost blend of clean natural gas and solar.

John F. Kennedy: Supplement oil resources with atomic energy

    If we are to have a strong America we must develop our great resources:
  1. We must rebuild resource programs, pressing forward with forest development, water development, power development, soil conservation, and passing effective legislation to control the pollution of our water and our air.
  2. We must seek new breakthroughs in converting salt water into fresh, controlling weather, using atomic energy to increase our oil and mineral resources and developing new techniques of conservation.
  3. We must recognize the increasing interdependence of all our resource needs by establishing a council of resource and conservation advisers to meet the needs of a growing population and an expanding economy.
  4. We must use accounting methods which reflect the long-term return which investment in resource projects will yield, thus showing the true value of these projects, their real cost, and the nature of our investment in America's future.
