We call attention to the continuing need of the United States for a sufficient supply of energy for national security and for the immediate adoption of a policy of free market solutions to achieve energy independence for the United States. 

THE PRINCIPLES

James Madison, Federalist Papers #45 

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.” 

U.S. Constitution, 10th Amendment 

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” 

THE PROBLEM

The federal government should not interfere with the development of potential energy sources, including natural gas, oil, coal, hydroelectric power, solar energy, wind generators, and nuclear energy. 

THE SOLUTION

We call for abolishing the Department of Energy, transferring its nuclear responsibilities to other appropriate agencies.

Private property rights should be respected.

THE CONSTITUTION PARTY COMMITTMENT

The Constitution Party is committed to abolishing the Department of Energy, implementing free market solutions to meet America’s energy needs, and to insuring that private property rights are maintained.
