Susan Bysiewicz on Energy & Oil

 

 


Require energy buybacks from solar panels and windmills

Both candidates also pushed for investment in renewable energy sources and limiting dependence on foreign oil. Murphy called for a cap on oil prices and letting the free market decide which greener technologies to invest in. Bysiewicz proposed forcing utility companies to buy back energy produced by homeowners and small businesses that install their own solar panels and windmills.

Security transactional tax to invest in green technology

Bysiewicz said she would take the revenue from the security transactional tax to invest in green technology like Germany has done, while also helping to refinance the 100,000 homeowners in the state whose properties are under water. Bysiewicz said her tax on security transactions would raise $10 trillion over 10 years.

Build clean-energy industries and jobs

Smart energy policy is the key to creating jobs in Connecticut. We can no longer deny basic facts: energy needs will grow; dependence on foreign oil threatens our national and economic security; and the country that leads in clean, renewable energy will be the country that leads the global economy. That country must be America.
