I can not believe you people are still posting garbage from that youtube poster. Who cuts and pastes things together... and he isnt even very good at it. Stop Being so DESPERATE. makes you look worse.
Uh, John McCain has the EXACT same policy on clean coal transitions.
Try again, his is far less restrictive and will be less expensive for the power companies. Keep in mind any expenses incurred by the power company will be passed onto the consumer. Obama's plan calls for the credits to be auctioned off which creates an immediate expense. McCain will allocate them:
Quote:
Frank Carlson: McCain's Emissions-Reduction Plan Receives Favorable Review (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-carlson/not-all-cap-and-trade-pla_b_118171.html - broken link)
Where Obama and McCain disagree on the plan concerns the role of the government, specifically how the government should allocate permits to companies. And unlike the current, silly spat over tire pressure gauges, this one matters.
Obama favors a full auction of the credits, which would act like a tax on companies, collecting a great deal of money right off the bat for the government to redistribute. This cash, he says, could go to alternative energy research and projects, then the credits would go to markets.
McCain says he would dole out permits in much the same way proposed by the Climate Security Act of 2007. That act failed in June to receive enough Senate support to even bring to a vote, but the basics are the same: Give the great majority of the permits away, and let the market set the price to support investment.
Just as important is McCains plan calls for proven... I'll repeat that .. P R O V E N technology like nuclear to replace the burden coal now bears. Obama wants to go head long into unknown territory and adopt technology that in some cases does not even exist. The ideas he has have been compared to the Moon Shot and the Manhattan Project both successful ventures but both were gambles too. The issue now is we are gambling with the future energy supply of this country at time when energy costs are soaring.

Yes get a clue please, Obama will be really bad for the economy.
Oh really? Well after the past 8 years of economic hell, I am willing to him a shot. Certainly couldn't be worse. I cannot believe anyone would actually vote GOP, you should all have you heads examined.
Think they will talk about this on Ketih Olberman?
It seems to be okay to with hold information about THE ONE,
but it is coming out finally, all the people in these swing states he has been wooing
and he wants to kill their way of life.
This I hope is in all the newspapers in these states.
Obama: THE HACK

perhaps the people that cannot tell the difference between the last 2 years of the democratic congress and the previous 6 years of a republican congress (all under the same president) should have their heads examined as well. are you better off in the last 2 years under the democratic congress? the numbers state otherwise.....
Google this for W. Va coverage
it is racing on the media in all of thses states Obama loves so much, FOR THEIR VOTES,
not their well being, or their jobs.
