Obama primary proposal for a US energy policy equates to socialism (think shortages and poor quality). If he is elected he will cause a true energy crisis. He doesn't understand a market based economy. McCain wants to remove the barriers to energy diversity (nuclear, solar, synthetics etc...) and let the best technologies win while not killing our economy by restricting us to dependence on unstable supply chains.

Obama has been very tepid on the issue of nuclear power. It is a very misunderstood energy source. It is the only way the country can effectively supply baseload electricity, desalinate sea water, and sustain a hydrogen economy. Wind and solar will never be able to supply the amount of energy to do those things. I have a feeling that it is because the environmental groups that support Obama own many of the companies that produce wind turbines and solar panels.

Yes...Ads...don't tell you much they are propaganda with no real facts... but so many people rely on such adds because they are too lazy to go read or research, so the next best thing...are the 30 second ads... =/

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather hear a full speech or read a paper on Obama's position instead of a 30 second ad.

How can you say he has no plan?! He has proposed $150 Billion dollars worth of plans! If you like where this country is headed...vote McCain. If not, if you're smart, if you like to see money in your families budgets and not in Big Business. VOTE OBAMA '08!!!

woohoo 1-2 million barrels produced a day after lifting the ban out of the 100 million we may need by then. energy crisis averted. phew.most analysts do not agree that drilling is in our best interest. another crappy plan that most informed people dont agree with. Mccain suported the gas tax holiday how can you trust this man.

The only reason Bush and his Daddy and McCain are interested in keeping this country dependent on oil is because they stand to lose all of the money that they would otherwise gain if the U.S. became energy independent. Bush gave Big companies big tax breaks and then allowed them to outsource outside of the U.S. which went against the reason why they got the tax breaks in the first place, to create more jobs in the U.S. and to strengthen the economy. They Suck.
