Teresa Tomlinson on Energy & Oil

Clean economy will create jobs, lower energy costs

• I support a new, clean economy for our state and our nation because it will create millions of jobs as we: 1) construct a new power grid; 2) manufacture turbines and solar energy equipment; 3) expand rail lines and energy efficient transportation infrastructure; and 4) develop programs for replacing lead pipes and weatherizing homes, among other opportunities. A new, clean economy will also lower energy costs for all Americans.
• I support the Climate Action Now Act, which seeks to compel the current administration to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement.
• I support extending federal Investment Tax Credit for Georgia solar power deployment.
• I support extending the federal sales tax credit for electric vehicles and reinstating a Georgia sales tax credit for alternative fueled vehicles to improve our air quality.
