The Democratic Party believes that it is our
responsibility to protect America's
extraordinary natural resources. The health of
our families and the strength of our economy
depend on our stewardship of the environment.
We reject the false choice between a healthy
economy and a healthy environment. Farming,
fishing, tourism, and other industries require
a healthy environment. New technologies that
protect the environment will create new
high-paying jobs. A cleaner environment means
a stronger economy.
Far too many Americans live with unhealthy
air or water quality. Democrats will fight to
strengthen the laws that ensure we have clean
air to breathe and clean water to drink. And
Democrats will make sure these laws are
enforced.
Democrats know that a sensible energy
policy is key to a strong economy, our
national security, and a clean environment.
Democrats are committed to the next generation
of affordable and renewable energy for the
21st center and to conservation measures that
will immediately reduce our dependence on
foreign oil.
