Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development. We
reject the Republican myth that energy efficiency and
environmental protection are enemies of economic growth. We will
make our economy more efficient, by using less energy, reducing
our dependence on foreign oil, and producing less solid and toxic
waste. We will adopt a coordinated transportation policy, with a
strong commitment to mass transit; encourage efficient
alternative-fueled vehicles; increase our reliance on clean
natural gas; promote clean coal technology; invest in R&D on
renewable energy sources; strengthen efforts to prevent air and
water pollution; support incentives for domestic oil and gas
operations; and push for revenue-neutral incentives that reward
conservation, prevent pollution and encourage recycling.
