The United States is the second largest contributor to CO2 emissions and climate change in the world and has double the per capita emissions of both China and the European Union.

The current Administration plans to worsen this situation by investing in the use of damaging, expensive, and obsolete energy sources such as coal, shale, and oil.

An "America First Energy Plan" should focus on investing in the enormous cheap and local renewable resources which are available in America and remain currently untapped.

This has the potential to continue the growth of a new industry which is bringing to the US new jobs, independence from foreign oil and helps protect the environment, guaranteeing that future generations will be able to live in a prosperous, safe, and healthy world.
