If McCain cares about the environment, why does he oppose renewable energy?

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 at 5:20 am

McCain consistently has voted consistently against government support of solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy, ocean and any other clean energy, with the exception of being strongly for nuclear power.

McCain believes that clean energy like solar and wind are ineffective against climate change. McCain has many times expressed his sincere belief that only nuclear power can reduce greenhouse gases.

McCain refuses to support any carbon cap and trade legislation unless it contains massive nuclear subsidies - more than any other senators are willing to support.

On environmental legislation, McCain voted with James 'Oil Man Global Warming is a Hoax' Inhofe 42 out of 44 times, and with Barbara Boxer (most environmentally conscious senator) 1 out of 50 times.

McCain has also missed 8 straight votes on extending the renewable energy tax credit, and would have voted against it had he attended.

How can we believe that McCain is concerned about the environment as he claims:

"I have a long record of that support of alternate energy. I come from a state where we have sunshine 360 days a year…. I’ve always been for all of those and I have not missed any crucial vote."

When his voting record is exactly the opposite of his claims? Do you buy into McCain's claim that he cares about the environment? Why or why not?

I live in a tiny liberal farm town and Big media doesn't bother to tell us if Obama is attacking McCain with lying propaganda.

Where is this money going to come from when McCain says he wants to build more alternative energy sources? ?

McCain wants to build buildings for alternative energy, he wants to buy bad loans from the American people

he also supports government intervention, and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Can someone explain to me how he is different then Bush and how is he good for the economy?

Why don’t the candidates talk about alternative energy sources?

Obama and McCain want change. But the REAL solution to the economy is to get rid of oil and replace it with plug-in-hybrids. People wouldn't pay a gallon at the gas station anymore. It would boom the economy. Why don;t they emphasis the agression of alternative energy?

What do you think of BARACK OBAMAs new BIG LIE about McCains record on voting against alternative energy?

McCain has voted FOR alternative energy MORE than any other Senator---but because he has been in the Senate for 30 years (as opposed to Obama who has even finished one term) he has votes on both sides...OBAMAis lying and mis-characterizing the record.

Does it Concern you that McCain’s Energy Policies could Destroy Alternative Energy?

It is impossible for the economy to pursue both oil and alternative energy. One will phase out the other. So McCain's plan is to Drill, Drill, Drill. Basically he is signaling his support of the Oil companies and their continued dominance.
