Issue Position: Dealing With Climate Change

Issue Position

It is indisputable that climate change is happening now, all around us. We see it in the hottest months on record. We see it in erratic, dangerous weather patterns all over the globe. Here in Virginia, our unique Chesapeake Bay ecosystems, our crucial naval bases, our Appalachian vistas, and our rivers are all at stake. Even more than that, We have a responsibility to our children and our grandchildren to act and do it quickly. But I reject the notion that we need to sacrifice our economy to take action on this existential threat. By investing in green energy like solar, biofuel, and wind, and making smart moves to decarbonize through energy efficiency we can do three things at the same time: protect our planet, save Virginians in energy bills, and bring new modern jobs to our economy.
