Two Very Different Energy Visions
Washington Post GENE KARPINSKI 12 Sept 08 “………………………….Mr. McCain used this issue as an example of how he was supposedly different from President Bush and from the other candidates for the GOP presidential nomination…………………..Mr. McCain’s voting record proves that he is no advocate for a clean-energy future. He voted against fuel efficiency increases in 2003 and 2005. He missed the vote in 2007.

He voted against a renewable electricity standard in 2005 and missed a key vote on renewable energy last year. He also opposed cutting $13 billion in subsidies to Big Oil and putting the money into clean energy. In each of these instances, Mr. Obama supported clean alternative energy……………………………..Mr. McCain has no plan to increase fuel efficiency. Mr. Obama would double it. Mr. McCain has no plan to promote renewable energy. Mr. Obama would require that 25 percent of our electricity come from wind, solar and other clean sources.
