The two main parties in the US have differing opinions on many issues. One of the most important ones is energy.
The Republican party believes that oil and natural gas are the best pathways for the US to reach an independent source of energy and economic growth. It also believes these industries can lead to job growth. It opposes the Kyoto Protocol and the UN's mandatory controls on carbon emissions. On the other hand, the Democratic party believes in investing in renewable resources, such as wind, solar and water as the main means to obtain energy. They also defend the protection of natural areas from exploitation caused by the oil and natural gas industries.
I think the Democratic party has views that address climate change and environmental destruction in a more effective way.
