Senator Obama's energy plan would end our dependence on foreign oil and create as many as 5,000,000 alternative-energy jobs. Senator McCain’s plan continues the Bush Administration’s policy letting Big Oil write energy policy.
Obama and Biden support plan to make polluters pay for pollution credits and to clean up toxic waste. McCain wants us to foot the bill for clean-up and to give polluters billions in tax breaks and subsidies.
Obama and Biden have fought to keep our air and water clean. McCain has voted against clean water ten times and voted six times to make it harder for states and the EPA to keep our air clean.
The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that America must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 in order to avoid the worst effects of global warming. Obama’s plan will reach that goal. McCain’s plan doesn't. The record speaks for itself
Barack Obama earned a lifetime environmental voting score of 86%. Biden earned an 83%. McCain earned a 24% score.
Decisions are made by those who show up. In the last two years, John McCain missed EVERY SINGLE major vote on energy. One vital 2007 bill, to move billions of dollars in tax credits from the oil industry to wind, solar and other clean energy sources, failed by one vote: John McCain’s. Obama and Biden, also running for President, voted for it.
Obama proposes to double the fuel efficiency of our cars in 18 years, reducing our oil consumption by at least 35% or 10 millions barrels per day. McCain voted against increasing fuel efficiency in 2003 and 2005. He missed the 2007 vote. Presumably, he ran out of gas.
In 1986, Joe Biden offered the first Senate bill to fight global warming pollution. McCain has voted with Bush, who doesn't believe climate change exists.
Obama plans create 25% of our electricity from clean energy by 2025. McCain opposes any national renewable energy standard.
McCain accepted more than $2 million from the oil and gas industry, more than half of that since he changed his position on offshore drilling last month. His forthcoming plan to open America’s playgrounds and sandboxes to drilling is expected to net another $1.2 million.
