Long Thompson’s plan proposes to invest millions of state dollars into developing clean energy technologies that will stimulate the state’s economy and add thousands of jobs in the process.

Pushing what she feels is the way of the future, Long Thompson points the finger at current Indiana Governor, Mitch Daniels, for “not doing enough,” and not making the state energy efficient.

Of the state’s current $35 million budget, Long Thompson would put half into the 21st Century Research and Technology Fund, which provides energy and environmental companies with resources to further their development.

Long Thompson also proposes to initiate a $10 million program for a Clean Energy Fund, in an effort to bolster wind, solar, and biomass technologies. She also calls for all state facilities to meet a new standard of energy efficiency, as well as a provision for companies to receive a three percent tax credit if they purchase equipment to reduce energy costs.

Indiana was found to have the nation’s sixth-highest carbon footprint, and ranked 49th on Forbes’ green state list.
