In a divided nation, what values and objectives can guide the development of effective energy policies? In our recent webinar, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY-20), and four energy leaders explained to us what guiding principles they would choose.
This is part of a larger OurEnergyPolicy initiative, and we want your input. Comment in our online discussion and tell us what principles you think should guide the creation of sound energy policy.

Principles suggested by webinar panelists:
- Incorporate and emphasize equity, inclusivity, and diverse participation for a just transition
- Expand and optimize the nexus of federal, state, and local government
- Consider objectives in tandem with one another, instead of as disparate aims
- View energy policy as one way of many to address climate change

What do you think of these principles? What principles would you add? |

|
|
"Three main principles: 1. Energy choices should be zero -emissions and dispatchable (not zero net emissions.) 2. Using the energy source in item 1, electrify, electrify, electrify. 3. Minimize the volume of any waste produced...."
- Gene Nelson, Legal Assistant and Government Liaison, Californians for Green Nuclear Power, Inc.

"One principle I would recommend is an integrated policy. By that, I mean one where all parts work together. For example, in decarbonizing the grid, policies to encourage low-carbon generation get stymied by regulations that discourage better transmission, not just building new lines but grid enhancement technology to make better use of the lines we have." - Ed Dolan, Senior Fellow, Niskanen Center
