Energy ad wars begin

New Obama ad knocks McCain's energy policy

Posted by Kate Sheppard at 4:15 PM on 08 Jul 2008

Muckraker: Grist on Politics Barack Obama's campaign has released a new ad to counter those from the Republican National Committee criticizing his energy plan.

Obama's ad, called "New Energy," accuses opponent John McCain of being "part of the problem" and hits on his support of drilling and tax breaks for oil companies. The ad says that energy independence is an "urgent priority" for the Democratic candidate, and notes his plans to invest in alternative energy and tax cuts for the middle class to help cover rising fuel costs:

The ads are running in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Contrast and compare, this crusty old capitalist's plan to the candidate's plans.

NG for cars

Like any good businessman or politician, Mr. Pickens proposal is designed to offend the least. How can you argue with the logic of leveraging our natural resources if it is more efficient to do so? He dismisses nuclear as something that takes too long. Gigawatts of wind don't pop up overnight.

Nuclear plants that produce cheap electricity can free up capital to invest in wind and solar. The time scale we are talking about can accommodate the time required to bring plants on line.

We need a commitment from the left that our goal is renewable, sustainable, green, clean, AFFORDABLE, ABUNDANT energy that will drive our standard of living to new heights. Not a hair-shirt that everyone must wear.
