At least 25% electricity from renewable sources by 2025

For the sake of national security we will finally break our addiction to foreign oil. The ARP will commit to bring an end to our total dependency on oil and move our country toward the use of clean and renewable energy. We recognize that any transition of this magnitude will require making certain interim environmental concessions plus modifications to laws and regulations over the next 15 years. We are committed to getting at least 25 percent of our electricity from renewable sources by 2025. Source: American Reform Party Positions (2020 Conventions) , Aug 22, 2020

Energy independence from foreign sources means that America's must invest both in increasing conventional domestic sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas but also must emphasize new technologies that make those resources more efficiently used and must drive toward the use of alternative energy technologies such as solar, wind, thermal depolymerization of organic waste, and biofuels.
