It's standard fare for an election campaign; give vague statements that hopefully don't get anyone (and especially the NIMBYs and special interest groups) up in arms, but have enough wiggle room that people will read into it what they want to hear while allowing you to deliver much less - or nothing - and still claim to have ticked the box. The stuff that leaves almost no room for doubt; that's what they actually hope to do, everything else is a "nice to have" at best, or just a grab for votes.
