The Conservative Energy Network hosted a summit in Houston to champion clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and nuclear power. The group believes that embracing renewables aligns with conservative values and can bring economic benefits. They argue that free market competition and private property rights are core Republican principles that support the growth of clean energy in the U.S. The organization works at the state and local levels to promote energy independence and counter misinformation about renewable energy sources.
Despite concerns about the upcoming presidential election and some Republicans’ opposition to renewables, the Conservative Energy Network focuses on local and state efforts rather than national policy. They argue that embracing clean energy is essential for addressing rising power bills and ensuring energy security.
The group’s goal is to provide a conservative perspective on renewable energy and to engage with communities where clean energy projects face opposition. They advocate for an “all of the above” approach to energy, including geothermal and nuclear power, to provide a reliable and affordable energy mix.
Conservatives from diverse backgrounds support renewables, and the organization works to debunk myths and communicate the economic benefits of clean energy. By engaging with a broad range of stakeholders and promoting free market principles, the Conservative Energy Network seeks to make clean energy a bipartisan issue and secure America’s energy future.
