ALBUQUERQUE — Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain said Monday that if elected he would ask Los Alamos National Laboratory to work on a “national mission” of energy independence.
“I’d like to put them to work on some additional areas of energy,” the Arizona Republican said of the weapons research laboratory, which has been facing funding cutbacks.
