Energy

He is a proponent of extracting traditional sources of energy with less environmental impact, as well as opening up federal lands for exploration so as to build more refineries. He is committed to reducing America’s dependence on foreign energy.[1]
Environment
- Tinsley does not believe the government should legislate conservation, although he is a proponent of conservation. He is a proponent of protecting the National Park System, and thinks environmental protection should be decided by state and local governments rather than by Washington bureaucats.[2]
Health
- According to Tinsley, the health care system needs to address the problems of high costs and the uninsured. He advocates a free-market approach to health care that could foster creativity, innovation, greater accessibility and consumer choice. He supports health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts, tax incentives to purchase health care coverage, multi-state health insurance purchasing pools, fairer tax treatment for the self-employed, portable coverage, and tort reform to better protect health care providers. Moreover, he demands greater transparency and cost cutting from health care providers.[3]
