We believe that environmental policies should reflect sensitivity to sound ecological practices and reasonable costs as well as the impact on affected individuals and the general public. We further believe that economic prosperity, environmental protection and conservation must coexist.

1. We believe that environmental concerns are best addressed at the local and state level.
2. Environmental regulations should be based on the best proven science available and consider the impact of implementation and ongoing cost to consumers, farms, businesses, and industry.
3. We support removing local economic restrictions and other barriers that inhibit private redevelopment and in-fill in urban areas.
4. We support new environmentally friendly technologies and practices that our free-market system generates, rather than massive government subsidies and mandates.
5. We encourage policies that promote the development of highly efficient and environmentally sound refineries and energy sources such as natural gas, clean coal, safe nuclear or new energy power plants.
6. The United States should strive to return to its status as energy independent and a net exporter of energy.
7. We oppose the current regulatory environment that encourages carbon credit trading, carbon taxes, and cap and trade, therefore, we reject the summit carbon pipeline and similar projects.
8. We oppose the intrusive expansion of government regulation of private bodies of water.
