Please keep in mind that most of McCain’s supporters are pro-nuclear. This may be heretical, but would it be so unsustainable to have a few pebble bed reactors along side compact fluorescents, wind, and solar? I only suggest this as there could be combinations of policies that resolve global warming and obtain the necessary large political coalitions to smooth the process. Perhaps by finding more common ground we can avoid excessive delays, even if the solution does not meet everyone’s individual ideals.

I don’t like how most of his responses hinge around nuclear power and corn based ethanol -> those clearly aren’t the solutions we will need for a sustainable energy future. I wonder if any of the current presidential candidates truly understands what a sustainable energy future will look like. It’s going to require a complete restructuring of our economy and way of life, and I don’t know if any candidate has enough determination to propose such radical steps.

Is it just me or does it seem like he is entirely unenthusiastic about energy independence and curbing greenhouse gas emissions? For a guy who has repeatedly co-sponsored the Climate Stewardship Act, you think he could summon up a little bit more passion when talking about these issues. The videos are a snoozer…
