Renewable Energy: Energy Independence = National Security
- (May 2010) I support New Mexico's incentives to encourage renewable energy, efficient mass transit, and energy conservation. Every time I take Atomic City Transit to work, that is one more gallon of gasoline that we do not have to send US dollars overseas to buy. All forms of renewable energy, from wind and solar to nuclear, need to be considered. The true costs of renewable energy sources must be evaluated against the true costs of fossil fuels. That includes environmental degradation, transportation costs, health costs, and international economic impact. The role of the government is to ensure a level playing field and to look forward as conditions change.
