- Repurpose our aerospace and defense genius to create cleaner, green technologies to rebuild America.
- Provide investment and incentives for creating a workforce well educated in green energy technology with Green STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs.
- Increase federal subsidies and incentives for high efficiency mass transportation, solar powered electric car charging stations, and production and ownership of super-efficient green vehicles.
- Expand the mission and goals of MB2025 in Manhattan Beach to a national platform.
