As
President,
on
Day
One,
I
would
use
my
executive
authority
to
declare
the
transition
to
a
clean
energy
future
the
Number
One
priority
of
our
federal
government.
I
would:
Create
a
new
Clean
Energy
Jobs
Corps
to
partner
with
communities
to
retrofit
buildings
to
be
more
energy
efficient,
improve
local
resiliency,
create
new
green
spaces,
and
restore
and
expand
our
forests
so
they
can
absorb
more
greenhouse
gases.
Retrofit
federal
buildings
to
the
highest
efficiency
standards
and
require
new
federal
buildings
to
be
net-zero.
The
federal
government
owns
and
manages
nearly
900,000
buildings,
more
than
any
other
entity.
Require
the
federal
fleet
to
be
subject
to
low-
or
zero-emissions
purchasing
agreements.
Our
federal
fleet
of
250,000
vehicles
consumes
more
than
$450
million
gallons
of
gasoline
and
diesel
fuel
every
year.
Fuel
costs
saved
should
be
reinvested
in
clean
energy
deployment
and
jobs.
Require
all
federally
funded
infrastructure
projects
to
meet
climate
resiliency
standards.
Direct
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
to
take
aggressive
action
to
limit
greenhouse
gases,
expanding
rules
to
other
large
sources
of
emissions
beyond
power
plants.
Direct
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
to
adopt
a
zero-tolerance
policy
for
methane
leaks
from
current
oil
and
gas
production.
Leaks
waste
$1.8
billion
annually,
while
exacerbating
greenhouse
gas
pollution.
Direct
the
EPA
and
Departments
of
Defense
and
Transportation
to
set
strong
efficiency
standards,
including
setting
strict
MPG
standards
for
new
buildings
and
requiring
energy
costs
to
be
transparent
to
tenants
and
purchasers.
Building
retrofits
out-perform
investments
in
new
gas
and
oil
exploration
as
a
form
of
job
creation
or
economic
stimulus
by
3
to
1.
Reject
projects
like
Keystone
XL
that
exacerbate
climate
change
and
extend
our
reliance
on
fossil
fuels.
Deny
new
permits
for
drilling
in
Alaska,
Antarctica,
and
off
our
coasts.
Increase
royalties
and
emissions
fees
for
fossil
fuel
companies
currently
drilling
on
federal
lands
and
invest
the
proceeds
in
jobs
and
skills
training.
Keep
domestically
produced
oil
and
gas
in
the
U.S.,
instead
of
selling
it
abroad
unless
there
is
a
clear
strategic
security
rationale.
More
broadly,
I
would
make
clean
energy
deployment
and
employment
a
first
order
priority.
I
would:
Set
a
national,
cross-sector
Renewable
Electricity
Standard
so
our
nation
is
powered
by
100%
clean
energy
by
2050.
Fight
for
federal
legislation
for
a
cap
on
carbon
emissions
from
all
sources,
with
proceeds
from
permits
returned
to
lower-
and
middle-class
families
and
invested
in
job
transition
assistance
and
the
Clean
Energy
Corps.
Set
a
national
goal
of
doubling
our
energy
productivity
within
15
years.
Low
energy
productivity
costs
American
businesses
and
households
$130
billion
a
year.
Support
a
Clean
Energy
Financing
Authority
to
support
clean
energy
infrastructure,
projects
to
increase
efficiency,
and
resiliency
upgrades
in
communities
nationwide.
End
all
subsidies
for
fossil
fuels,
while
extending
production
and
investment
tax
credits
for
renewable
energy
for
the
long
term.
Taxpayer
subsidies
for
fossil
fuel
companies
total
$4
billion
a
year,
even
as
the
biggest
oil
companies
reap
$90
billion
in
annual
profits.
Prioritize
modernizing
our
electric
grid
to
evolve
to
support
localized,
renewable
energy
generation,
reduce
electricity
waste,
and
increase
security
from
sabotage
or
attack.
Power
outages
are
up
285%
over
the
last
30
years,
costing
businesses
as
much
as
$150
billion
each
year,
and
renewable
energy
sources
remain
unconnected.
Make
robust
investments
in
state
and
community
resiliency.
Increase
our
investment
in
basic
clean
energy
research
so
the
U.S.
can
reclaim
the
lead
on
energy
innovation,
including
advancing
development,
deployment,
transmission,
storage
for
renewable
energy,
and
managing
demand
more
effectively.
Work
with
industry
to
help
meet
skills
and
employment
needs
that
the
current
labor
market
isnt
sufficiently
supplying,
like
utility
workers
and
cybersecurity
experts.
