I'm lost. I've read both McCain's and Obama's energy plans. I have yet to hear anyone say let's stop doing this or that tomorrow. All I've heard is let's try to make what we're doing as clean as possible while we try to develop alternatives. The US has historically been on par or above any other country when it comes to developing new technologies. If we can develop a clean renewable energy source wouldn't that benefit us not only ecologically but financially as well? I think we should be putting as much resources as possible into developing an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Hell spend 10% of what we're currently spending on the military and put that into an "X" type challenge to develop a new source of energy. If we could free ourselves off foreign oil we would be more secure and wouldn't need a huge military, IMO.
