Energy

The energy policies of the 20th century have led to an unsustainable energy system in America. This is why America cannot continue along this current path of an addiction to foreign oil and a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Chris Coons believes we can free ourselves from this current system by diversifying the country’s energy sources.

Chris wants to encourage other innovative programs like wind farming just off the shore of Delaware. He also is calling for a nationwide cap and trade program that will help establish a price on carbon and unleash the creativity of American ingenuity to help solve this crisis.
