The Issue: Enviroment and Energy

John McCain:

Oil is a big problem, and most of the people in America get their energy from it. Unfortunately, American has to pay the high price for oil from foreign country's. Some of them, aren't nice. But, McCain has an idea to solve this. Nuclear power is big part of his vision. He wants 45 new nuclear power plants. He also promises a $300 million prize to the scientist that can make a long-lasting electric car battery. McCain also says to drill for oil off America's coasts immediately, which is now prohibited. He thinks that this will solve the problem.

Barack Obama:

Obama does not agree with McCain's idea to drill for oil. He thinks that drilling will not solve the major issue. He has a different idea. Obama proposes investing $150 billion in a "major commitment" to develop wind power and other "clean energy." Obama has compared his goal to make the U.S. the world leader in environmental technology to the U.S. space program in the '60s. By this, Obama thinks that his plan will be best for all Americans.
