As Utah County Democrats we believe in wisely using the abundant energy resources of our state while carefully preserving our environment. We support initiatives to decrease our dependence on foreign oil, such as mass transit, conservation, and alternative energy sources.

We decry attempts to import radioactive waste from nuclear facilities outside of Utah for storage, particularly at sites within minutes of population centers. We call for measures to ensure that our county and our state never become a dumping ground nor a transit point for the nuclear waste of the nation.
