• Renew the power plant siting law (Article X) with some key environmental improvements:
  
• Incentives that lead to clean repowering, new technologies, negative emission facilities and renewable energy sources,
• Protections for already over-burdened communities,
  
• A process to prevent future groupings of power plants in communities that already have their fair share, and
• A streamlined and effective public participation process. 

• Build more green buildings by requiring all new construction and substantial renovation projects undertaken/funded by the state to comply with third party certification (i.e., LEED).
