McCain Proposes Oil Independence By 2025

by Dan Spencer, Right Side Politics Examiner
McCain's plan for energy independence is called The Lexington Project --"named for the town where Americans asserted their independence once before." You can read the plan here. The Lexington Project has left the Obama-ites sputtering. Some pundits thought Obama had the advantage so far in offering an energy "vision." But Newsweek is much more impressed with McCain's Lexington Project:
Frankly, however, no one really cares what Obama said last October. And there's no question that McCain's flurry of concrete proposals—including a call for 45 more nuclear power plants, a $300 million prize to the designer of a new electric car battery, overturning the 27-year ban on offshore drilling and a $5,000 tax credit for people who buy "zero-emissions" cars—prompted Obama to spend most of his own energy speech this week knocking those ideas down. That in turn generated a GOP Web video declaring that "Obama is Dr. No," complete with a Bond-like theme song.
In fairness, I note that FactCheck.org finds that the Dr. No video distorts Obama's positions on clean-energy innovation and nuclear power.
