Environment

==Human Environment==
Extremists have lost a sense of the balance between the human environment and the physical environment. Conservation and protecting the environment are treasured deeds. Nonetheless, the human environment needs protection too. The Platform.For-Pgh.org emphasis puts a deep care into the human environment.
Let's protect human freedoms and quality of life.
===Overboard Greens and some old party leaders don't want nuclear power.=== 
They closed up the coal mines in Utah (Pennsylvania). They don't want to drill for oil. 
This means control over your freedom. It means control over when and where you can drive your car. It means control over when you can turn on air conditioning or heat, over whether you will have a job. It means that our environment is going to get poorer and less free.
===Current pathways===
Today's solution mean more power for government, less power for you. Let's strive, instead, for sensible development of energy supplies. Conservation of the human environment matters. A government that works for the people, not against.
===Energy is freedom.===
Energy makes cell phones, cars, and air conditioning possible. Cheap energy reduces the cost of everything. The cheaper energy is, the more things you can buy. Let's not go to war with the energy companies that produce the energy that we need.
===Shifting environmental laws.===
Consider thise modest changs a moment. Right now, a new owner that purchases a brown field site and discovers pollution on the site is responsible for that polution. Even if the real polluters were just down the street, the new owner is on the hook.
I would like to see the polluters held responsible. That way, more of these brown field sites would be bought up and developed. Then jobs and businesses would flow back into the Keystone State.
For more than 30 years, much of America has been at war with energy producers. Don't take for granted the freedom that energy provides. Don't war on those who make energy possible. Obstructionists have ensured for the past 20 years that large petroleum refineries were NOT built in the US. They have blocked the development of Alaskan oil.
Governmental price caps discourages new energy production. New energy makes the only long term solution to the problem. Governmental controls also discourage conservation. If power is cheap, why conserve it?
Governmental controls create bigger problems down the line. In order to gain and expand governmental power, elected leaders will divide Americans against each other. They sacrifice your prosperity. They make war on America's energy producers and defenders of American freedom.

** Frustrated with the federal response to global warming, hundreds of cities, suburbs and rural communities across the nation have taken bold steps to slash their energy consumption and reduce emissions of the pollutants that cause climate change.
