Boston Globe: McCain Lied About Alternate Fuel Votes.
"McCain: 'I voted for alternate fuel all my time.
Fact Check: In his 26 years in Congress, McCain has voted against several bills and amendments calling for new investments in renewable energy, according to official Senate records. In March 2002, for example, McCain voted against an amendment to require utilities to generate 10 percent of electricity from renewable energy facilities by 2020." [Boston Globe, 9/26/08:

And you suppose his policies will hold up until 2025, once people realize that he has NO executive experience, the Democrats will be pointing fingers at Republicans all over again.

"new rule, you can't put a windmill in your campaign add if you voted against every single bill that might lead someone to build one (applause), as long as your sending a camera crew to a farm, why not just take a picture of actual bullshit"

McAncient is a typical say-anything-for-your-vote politician. He claims to support wind and solar energy, yet on July 30th, McAncient did not vote for bill (S.3335) which provided tax credits for installing solar energy, wind turbines, and other energy-efficiency systems. MCANCI0ENT HAS NOT VOTED FOR THIS BILL EIGHT (8) TIMES!! His claim to support renewable energy is a FARCE! He's desperate for your vote and is hoping Americans are too ignorant to know when they are being bamboozled.

You seem to think there is an unlimited supply of oil in the world. What do you suppose we do when it's all gone? At current consumption levels, and assuming that oil will be consumed only from reservoirs, known recoverable reserves would be gone around 2039, potentially leading to a global energy crisis. The rapidly increasing demand for petroleum in China & India could deplete oil even faster.

I'm not against drilling. I'm against those who point to the high price of gas and say that drilling will lower the cost. We need petroleum for a variety of applications... Using nearly all of it to create gasoline to fuel our vehicles without actively pursuing an alternative that already exists is idiocy. We need to use wisely what little domestic petroleum we have left. Our country once led the world in technology and ingenuity. Why do we remain shackled to the internal combustion engine?

It's true Hybrid vehicles consume LESS gas, but they still consume gas. We have the technology to build fast, affordable, fully electric vehicles that can travel more than 100 miles on a single charge AND look just like vehicles on the road today. (Search: "Who Killed the Electric Car") Problem is corrupt politicians, whose power is lavishly funded with oil money, prefer to serve the short-term interests of greedy oil executives than the long-term interests of ordinary people like you.
Majority of Americans support the Republican Party for more oil supply, more alternative energy, and less foreign oil dependency.
God Bless America
Republicans Rock

John McCain recently missed a vote in the U.S. Senate that would have given tax credits to wind and solar companies. This is the eighth, 8TH time, he has missed this vote. One time even not leaving his office in Washington to attend the vote. McCain is a liar.
