Our Next President Must Embrace Clean Technology
By Will Marshall and Jan Mazurek
Progressive candidates ought to reject the gloomy narrative of populist politicians and cable-TV demagogues who claim trade and outsourcing are destroying the American middle class, and instead focus on how American employers and workers can win in global markets. One place to look for inspiration is Silicon Valley, where entrepreneurs and venture capitalists are busy launching a clean-technology revolution.

Where We Stand on Energy and Environmental Policy:

New Democrats believe that abundant and affordable energy, economic prosperity, and across-the-board improvements in environmental quality are compatible goals. Achieving those goals does not require us to choose between markets and government, or between more or less regulation. We must recognize the importance of each.
