- Migrate from nuclear power
- Transition to clean renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal
- Support distributed generation allowing home owners, schools, churches, farmers and small businesses to own and install wind and solar power generation equipment
- Update distribution and transmission lines so that all Iowans can use renewable energy and so that excess energy can be sold out of state
- Enhance energy efficiency and conservation programs
- Improve transportation efficiency, increasing the use of alternative and public transportation
