Candidates views on Environment/Energy


BARACK OBAMA
-Barack Obama has different views on the environment/energy issue within the United States. First off he would like to provide struggling families financial support at the gas pump. One approach to do this is by swapping light oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in exchange for heavy crude oil to lower the financial burden to buy gas for families.
-Another way he is looking at this crisis is by decreasing our oil imports from the Middle East and Venezuela. A way Obama promises to do this is by getting 1 Million plug-in hybrid cars on the road by 2015. These automobiles will get 150 miles per gallon and they will be domestic made cars.
-Barack Obama will also establish 5 million new jobs that will better improve our environment. These jobs will be called "Green jobs." Over the next ten years he will invest 150 million dollars in private efforts to build a cleaner America.

JOHN MCCAIN
John McCain has approaches to better help our environment and energy issue inside our borders of the United States.
-First off, he would like to expand the domestic oil exploration and production. He believes that there is no better way to prove to the world that we do not need them to enlarge our energy production. This will keep our money in the states and less going outside our borders.
-McCain also wants to invest in alternative energy sources that are environmentally friendly. To do this he promises to become leaders of the world in a green economy. He promises to establish new "green" jobs and technologies.
-Thirdly, McCain and Palin will promote energy efficiency. The largest consumer of electricity in the world is the Federal Government. So, he will make sure that they lead by example to take the initiative. To do this he will enforce a higher efficiency standard on the buildings being built and future constructions.
