John McCain
Town hall
Lima, OH 08/07/08

TRANSCRIPT
AUDIENCE MEMBER: You understandably see this great optimism about reducing oil costs and energy more generally. But do you recognize the small likelihood that significantly decreasing the price of fuel at the pump and energy for our houses in the midst of enormous increase in demand from emerging economies, i.e. Brazil, China, and India?

JOHN MCCAIN: I do not recognize that. Thank you, though, for your question. In France it takes five years to build a nuclear power plant, five years. And France generates 80% of their electricity using nuclear power, 80%. I know I wasn't planning on taking French but the fact is they can do it, we can too. [...]We can do it through all of the above: wind, tide, nuclear, solar. [...] We have been sailing ships around the world, the United States Navy has, for sixty years, a nuclear power plants on them. Why not in the world can't we do that too? [...]
