AMES, Iowa (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton planned to unveil a plan Sunday aimed at combating climate change that includes revisions in the tax code to promote renewable energy.
In Iowa, the nation’s second-leading wind energy producer, Clinton said people are “just not paying attention” if they don’t acknowledge climate change.
Clinton said she supported renewing the wind energy tax credit and getting other tax incentives “fixed” to promote renewable fuel.
Though Clinton hinted that under her plan the coal industry would face changes, she said the federal government would help the industry.
Climate change has become a key issue in the Democratic presidential primary, where Clinton is the heavy favorite.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic candidate for president to the left of Clinton who has been attracting increasingly larger crowds, told voters Sunday in Louisiana, where a gunman opened fire in a movie theater Thursday night, that common ground can be found on gun control.

Hillary Clinton Outlines 'Bold' Climate Change Proposals
Hillary Clinton on Sunday set two "bold national goals" to combat climate change, promising that if she's elected president, she would set the United States on a path toward producing enough clean renewable to power every home in America within a decade.
She would also initiate a process that would bring the total number of solar panels installed nationwide to more than half a billion before the end of her first term, her campaign said in a fact sheet released Sunday as it also posted a video in which Clinton lays out her ambitions.
"We cannot wait any longer" to act on climate change, the Democratic front-runner says in the video. "It's time we stand for a healthier climate, stand for cleaner air, for science, for innovation, for our children, for reality, for the future."
The initial reaction from climate groups to Clinton's framework was positive. "“Secretary Clinton’s spot-on video makes it more clear than ever that she cares deeply about climate change and will make it a top priority throughout her campaign"

There's your platform choices, Dems
A global warming or a gun control campaign
