Energy, fossil fuels
Would vastly expand oil and gas exploration offshore and on federal and private lands by executive order, including Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, Gulf of Mexico, and off the mid-Atlantic states.
Energy, alternatives
Touts Texas as US leader on wind power. Seeks an “all of the above” approach to electricity generation, combining conventional with renewable sources: gas, coal, nuclear, wind, biomass, waste-to-energy, and solar. Would accelerate permit process for nuclear energy. Gets an ‘F’ from Iowa corn growers for ethanol and renewable fuels support.
Climate change
Is “skeptical” about human-caused climate change. Would repeal EPA’s authority over greenhouse gases and eliminate any agency programs to restrict carbon dioxide emissions.
Environmental regulations
Would eliminate “activist” EPA regulations; would return EPA’s authority to states, confining it to environmental and cost-comparison analyses; would suspend “job killing” Clean Air Act regulations.
