McCain wants to get rid of the Ethanol Subsidies.
|
Frankly, that's a good thing. Ethanol is so short-sighted it's unbelievable. It requires so much land, land that is either used for forest (combat global warming), or food, so with ethanol it's either fuel, the earth, or food. There are other alternatives the US should be pushing for.

I agree getting rid of Ethanol is a good thing.
Just stating the point that he's against it. Also there seems to be some proof that it isn't even helping the enviroment due to all the oil it takes to make the stuff... and it's lower efficency. Now Sugarcane Ethanol.. at least has enviromental benefits.
The UN also thinks it's part of the global food crisis and call biofuels "Criminal."
McCain is also for less combustion energy as it is... promoting Nuclear electricity over Obama's plan for Coal Electricity. (like bush!)
Obama's energy policy is basically the biproduct of the lobbyists he picked up in Illnois. Big coal and ethanol companies are going to gain a lot from Obama's incresed importance placed on those fuels.
One of the countries biggest Ethanol and Coal producers. Though i'm not sure how that relates to car engines.

Nuclear power is a good choice for the time being, while other technologies are so far behind.
Yeah, I think I'd agree with the UN there, I think it's incredibly selfish for rich countries to use valuble food land just so they can have a bigger engined SUV, when people in poorer countries starve.
I would help the enviroment if it was planted on land that wasn't absorbing Co2, but it's likely that it will be planted where forest or farmland used to be.

Yeah, nuclear power isn't and end all... but it's the best option we currently have for the next 10-15 years.
People who think the problem can be stopped mostly be education have never measured their carbon footprint.
The kind of life you would need live to be "even" with it is much more spartan then people realize.
Amusingly, only one candidate is a Hybrid man. John McCain.
