Climate & Energy
The candidate’s public materials make only brief, general references to ‘‘respecting our water, energy and land’’ and prioritize reducing regulation and promoting small business and energy-respecting economic growth; no specific climate targets, support for major clean-energy legislation, carbon pricing, or explicit fossil-fuel expansion policies are articulated. The available statements are high-level and do not provide clear policy prescriptions on emissions, renewables, or fossil-fuel regulation.
