This post is part of a series of blogs examining where 2024 Southeastern candidates for state and federal offices stand on key energy and climate issues.
Note: The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy does not support or oppose candidates or political parties. Links to reports, candidate websites and outside sources are provided as citizen education tools.
In this blog post, we examine the policies and positions of Mark Green, the Republican Party candidate running for reelection to represent Tennessee Congressional District 7 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also in this series, we profile Democratic candidate Megan Barry. Election Day is November 5, 2024.
Dr. Mark Green is the U.S. Representative for Tennessee’s 7th congressional district. Prior to his time in Congress, he served as a Tennessee state senator, and served two decades in the United States Army. Green founded an emergency department staffing company and two medical clinics after retiring from the Army.
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Representative Green has expressed on social media site X (formerly Twitter), “Americans wouldn’t be subject to these hikes in oil prices if the Democrats quit waging war on energy. We don’t need a Green New Deal – we need energy independence!”
Climate Change
When asked if he would join efforts to stabilize the climate at a town hall in 2018, Green’s response was “I’m not yet convinced that the science is proving that we’re warming.”
Electric Transportation
Representative Mark Green voted in favor of an amendment that would eliminate funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean School Bus Program. The program was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and is providing $5 billion towards the replacement of existing diesel school buses with clean zero emissions school buses.
Energy Equity and Energy Burden
We were unable to confirm the candidate’s position on this energy-related issue in published media, public records, or the campaign website.
High-Risk Energy
When answering the question “Why are you running for office?” for the Tennessean candidate questionnaire Mark Green included in his answer, “I am not willing to stand by and watch the radical left’s assault on oil and gas”.

The post Candidate Mark Green on Climate & Energy appeared first on SACE | Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea. But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.
Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom? And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”
Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
