Prohibit new leases for non-renewables and offshore drilling
[Harley writes]: California's congressional leaders must provide a crucial check on the Trump administration with respect to offshore drilling. To say no to offshore drilling once and for all, we need Congress to pass Rep. Jared Huffman's (D-CA) 'Keep
it in the Ground Act', which would prohibit new leases for coal, oil, and gas on all federal lands and waters, stopping new leases for offshore drilling in the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, and permanently protecting the Arctic and Atlantic coasts.

Prioritize green energy over fossil fuels of the past
Q: Climate Change: Consider climate change a serious threat? Limit or tax production of greenhouse gases?Dana Rohrabacher (R): No. "Manmade global warming, as a theory, is being pushed by people who believe in global government. looking for an
incredible freedom-busting centralization of power." Voted to bar EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.
Harley Rouda (D): Yes to both. "Climate change doesn't just mean melting ice caps & rising oceans. It means the weather patterns that all of
civilization has been predicated on. will be increasingly unpredictable--where we built our cities, where we grow our crops, where we live."
Q: Renewable Energy: Support government subsidies for renewable energy?
Dana Rohrabacher (R): No. Voted against tax credits & incentives for renewable energy production & conservation.
Harley Rouda (D): Yes. Prioritize green energy "over the fossil fuels of the past."
