NcCain seems to be getting it. Good for him.
How about getting government out of the way so private industry can do it?
Wonder how cap and trade and vilifying the oil companies fit into this “plan”. /s/
Lots of nice verbiage.
However, unless includes Drilling Here, and Drilling Now, it just more pandering to the left by a man who for the last 7 years has been moving more and more left in his positions.
I am looking for a Leader not a panderer!
If he wants my vote, he’ll start being a leader.
This seems like borderline breaking news, if this is his first mission statement of this scope.
I’m interested in the specifics of his plan for nuclear plants.
Is he planning to have the government build these plants? Will they be in competition with the privately owned electric utilities?
Or is he planning subsidies to the utilities to promote nuclear power?
All any president needs to do is open Yucca Mountain to handle the spent fuel until Congress can pass legislation getting intervenors out of the way of reprocessing. Then the utilities will be falling all over themselves to build new plants.
...offshore drilling. drilling in ANWAR and emergency authorization to build new refineries on a timetable to bring them online to handle increased output from our new domestic drilling. (I wish)
Excellent news! Energy independence is only two thirds of a generation away.

How about a crash program to get 150 nuclear power plants on line by 2015, 2018 at the latest? How about an executive order to start drilling off our shores withing six months? How about a rush program to exploit oil deposits on our soil?
There's no need to offer up vague plans that won't meet our needs for seventeen years. Get some backbone John. Do something that will really make a difference to this generation.
His plan for 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030, is downright laughable. By 2030 will need 200 or more new reactors, not 45. This guy is proposing goals that if met, wouldn't meet today's needs.

>> the Lexington Project named for the town where Americans asserted their independence once before.
Holy ..., I thought American’s that asserted their independence were no longer recognized. Hopefully, their legacy won’t be pissed on.
