- Smart energy policy
- Excerpt: "Increased energy efficiency and renewable energy options will lower costs for consumers, create skilled local jobs, and reduce climate-changing emissions at the same time."

- Environmental sustainability

Our fishermen see the impact of warming waters and ocean acidification; our farmers report dramatic changes in the growing season; and our recreation industry struggles with unpredictable conditions."
