Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney talks to Grist

Q: What sets your green platform apart from other candidates'?

A: We've taken nuclear off the table. When you start talking about sustainable energy, nuclear isn't it. We need to take offshore drilling off the table, we need to take ANWR off the table. We should also make sure that investment in solar and other types of heating and energy supply are made attractive to people, [through] tax schemes that decrease the price to the end user. [We need] also an incentive so that when people are in the process of buying houses, a score is given for the energy consumption that that house represents. Those are just a few things that could be done very easily.
