Clean Energy Now, Livable Planet Forever

The science is settled. The Talon Party supports a bold, pragmatic transition to clean energy — including nuclear — because our generation will inherit whatever we leave behind.

Where We Stand

Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation. The Talon Party accepts the scientific consensus: human activity is warming the planet, and the consequences — extreme weather, rising seas, food insecurity — will fall hardest on the youngest and most vulnerable.

We support an aggressive transition away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources: solar, wind, hydroelectric, and — critically — nuclear. Modern nuclear energy is safe, reliable, and produces zero carbon emissions. Dismissing it for ideological reasons is a luxury we can no longer afford.

The Talon Party believes clean energy is also an economic opportunity. The green energy sector is one of the fastest-growing in the world. Investing in it now means American jobs, American innovation, and American energy independence.

"We're the generation that's going to live with the consequences of today's decisions. I'm not willing to inherit a broken planet because politicians were too afraid to act. The Talon Party will act."

— Talon, on climate urgency

"Nuclear gets a bad reputation from old disasters and old technology. Modern reactors are a completely different story — safer, smaller, and cleaner than anything we've had before. Ruling it out is like refusing to fly because of the Wright Brothers' crash."

— Madden, on the case for nuclear energy

Our Specific Proposals

Accelerate Renewable Investment

Expand federal tax incentives for solar, wind, and battery storage to drive rapid private-sector adoption.

Embrace Modern Nuclear Energy

Fast-track licensing for next-generation nuclear reactors and lift outdated regulatory barriers to clean nuclear power.

Phase Out Fossil Fuel Subsidies

End the $20 billion in annual federal subsidies to oil and gas companies and redirect that funding to clean energy R&D.

Green Jobs Training Program

Invest in workforce training so workers in fossil fuel industries can transition into the growing clean energy economy.
