This agenda covers the following items:
- Establish as operating principle self-sufficiency and independence from fossil-fuels and oil/coal importation through non-nuclear and non large hydro renewable sources of energy such wind, solar, geothermal, micro/mini-hydro, bio-mass, etc and decentralize energy system optimizing in off-grid system to ensure full electrification of all communities.
- Accelerate the implementation of the Renewable Energy law providing incentives for more priority investments on renewable energy technologies and development
- Cautious development of agro and bio-fuels that should not compete with the priority of food sovereignty and biodiversity conservation and should be limited to domestic utilization
- Oppose the use of large tracts of agricultural lands to plant crops for bio fuels at the detriment of producing food crops and instead turn to non-food plants (like algae) for biodiesel which; adding 5% CME from coconut, will produce one of the best biodiesels in the world without sacrificing even our coconuts as a food source.
- Rejection of the nuclear energy development option and the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) revival bill.
