McCain hits Biden in Ohio today:
I am going to put in place the priorities and policies that will create jobs in Ohio. One important way that we are going to create jobs here is with the development of additional nuclear plants and through investments in clean coal technology.
Not only will investment in our energy infrastructure create millions of new jobs across the country, it will help lead our nation toward the important goal of energy independence. My opponent is against the expansion of nuclear power. His running mate here in Ohio recently said that they weren’t supporting clean coal either. And the fact is that their billions of dollars in higher taxes would kill jobs here in Ohio. That’s not what Ohio needs and that’s not what America needs.
That is what Biden said, apparently reflecting his primary position, despite having taken Obama's pro-clean coal position just days earlier.
Biden spokesman David Wade called McCain's statement "yet another false attack from a dishonorable campaign," though the real error here seems to have been Biden's.
He continued: "Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama and Senator Biden support clean coal technology. Senator Biden’s point is that China is building coal plants with outdated technology every day, and the United States needs to lead by developing clean coal technologies."
On the nuclear front, McCain seems to have softened his charge that Obama opposes nuclear power. Obama has said he'd consider nuclear power, but isn't as supportive of it as McCain, and opposes the Yucca Mountain waste site.
Well Western Pa, West Va, Ky and other parts of coal country are lost for Obama. Biden is trying trying to solidfy his morons in Eastern Pa, Md, De and Beltway Virginia. How do you sell Socialism to the queasy, play the green card. It’s over for Obama. I did hear that Obama is starting to pull resources out of Pa and Ohio and focusing on picking off Va, NC, and NM. Great strategery genius, exchange an electoral vote for electoral vote. This dopey bastard I am convinced is in for a historic beating. The MSM will have a bigger credibility gap November 5th than Hillary’s caboose.
China will have an enormous advantage in energy production in 10 to 20 years. Their committment to nuclear and coal is very strong. Meanwhile, the rats mandate renewables, restrict energy exploration, stop coal plant construction, and passively stop nuclear. We are headed for an energy and economic meltdown.
It’s kind of strange that our MSM doesn’t replay their own vids of Biben and Zero on the eveninhg news.
It won't take that long. I'd say, with some insight into the industry, it could be argued that they may already have it it terms of hands-on experience. From an engineering / technology standpoint, they are on the fast track and will pass the West before long.
Next to watch while we contemplate our navels and pander to moonbeam eco-idiots, is India. They are poised to make the Chinese look over their shoulders in a few years, which geo-politically can become very scary.
My long money would be on India. They have enormous pent-up demand, a very highly educated middle class, and some very serious private capital to work with.
