- Giving Americans, not Washington bureaucrats, the power to make their own energy choices.
- Encouraging private sector innovation and entrepreneurship.
- Advancing market-oriented energy and environment policies
Reducing the role of government in energy markets. - Eliminating the subsidies, mandates, and special interest giveaways that lead to higher energy costs.
