So who’s the greener candidate?
Many environmental groups, including the Sierra Club have decided to back Senator Barack Obama. His website outlines his plan in easy-to-understand language. Here’s some bullet points of Obama’s environmental plan:
Senator John McCain, on the other hand, has a weaker environmental policy sprinkled with diluted language featured on his site:
If you compare the two plans side by side… McCain’s contians more ‘fluff’ & show for climate change initiatives while Obama’s goals are easier to understand & his plan more straightforward. (You can click on both links for the Senators names to see their plans in entirety for yourself.)
I understand the environment isn’t the only issue in this. election, but how much longer can we handle high oil prices? John McCain doesn’t even mention how to stop our oil dependency. Even if we drill in Alaska, that supply is limited and the oil will run out eventually. The process to change to cleaner energy is a long one. But shouldn’t we start shifting towards cleaner solutions before it’s too late?
