5.Energy
BO
Proposes reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050 by using a
market-based cap-and-trade system. Would invest $150 billion over 10
years in clean energy. Supports next generation biofuels. Proposes
increasing fuel economy standards and would require that 25 percent of
electricity consumed in the U.S. is derived from clean, sustainable
energy sources by 2025. Would create a Global Energy Forum and re-engage
with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
JM
He was the lead author of a Senate
proposal to reduce projected carbon dioxide emissions 65 percent by 2050
and believes climate change is a national security issue.
Proposes a national energy strategy that will rely on the technological
prowess of American industry and science. Would not support subsidizing
every alternative or tariffs that restrict the competition that stimulates
innovation and lower cost. Believes barriers to nuclear energy are political
not technological. Would provide for safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and
give host states or localities a proprietary interest so when advanced
recycling technologies turn used fuel into a valuable commodity,
the public will share in its economic benefits. Proposed a bipartisan
plan to address the problem of climate change and stimulate the development
and use of advanced technologies. It is a market-based approach that would
set reasonable caps on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, and
provide industries with tradable credits.
6.Environment
BO
Would implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions to the level recommended by top scientists. Would make the
United States a leader in the global effort to combat climate change by
leading anew international global warming partnership.
Would establish a National Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) to speed the
introduction of low-carbon non-petroleum fuels. Would create a Technology
Transfer program within the Department of Energy dedicated to exporting
climate-friendly technologies to developing countries. Would offer
incentives to maintain forests globally and manage them sustainably.
Would develop domestic incentives that reward forest owners, farmers and
ranchers when they plant trees, restore grasslands or undertake farming
practices that capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
JM
Introduced the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007 with Sen.
Joseph Lieberman (I-CT). The legislation is designed to significantly
reduce the nation's greenhouse gases, accomplished through a combination
of trading markets and the deployment of advanced technologies. Would
propose use of alternative energy sources, including nuclear.
