Nukes Not AE*** 2
Nuclear power verses alternative energy is also a dividing line between the two. While McCain does support a move toward
renewable and alternative fuels his main push is toward the development of nuclear power plants. In fact, he wants to build 45
new nuclear plants by the end of his first term, and 100 by the year 2030. But Obama's main push is alternative energy plants
whether dealing with wind, solar, or bio-fuels. Obama wants to develop an entire new energy industry based upon renewable
fuels and pledges to require 10 % of the nation's energy come from renewable sources by the end of his first term.

[“Pelosi: Offshore Drilling Protest Led By "Very Small Band" Of Republicans,” http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7011852343]
"According to the Bush Administration's own Energy Department, if we repealed the offshore drilling ban today, oil and gas
production would not begin there until 2017, and impact on prices before 2030 would be "insignificant." We cannot drill our way
out of this problem," Pelosi wrote. "While a very small band of your colleagues remain on the House floor to discuss gas prices,
their constituents deserve to know why their representatives in Congress have failed to support serious, responsible proposals....
Americans deserve real solutions, not rhetoric," she added.
[“Will Offshore Drilling Help at the Pump? Government Studies Say No,”
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/08/05/politics/fromtheroad/entry4323718.shtml]
(HUNTINGTON, W.V.) – Despite the Department of Energy stating that offshore drilling would not have much impact on oil
production for over 20 years, John McCain continued to make the argument tonight that the U.S. could see an impact on gas
prices in a matter of months once domestic oil drilling begins. “It can be done much more quickly than, frankly, the
environmentalists are saying,” McCain said on a telephone town hall for Pennsylvania voters. “I met with independent petroleum
producers in California just the other day and they said within months we can see an increase, and within a very short period of
time – a year to two years – we could see a more significant increase in our oil supply.” McCain first made that assertion last
week at an oil field in Bakersfield, California, but neither he nor his campaign has been able to point to any literature or any oil
executive that says domestic drilling would have any immediate impact. Offshore leasing wouldn’t be able to begin until 2012
due to existing moratoria, and “access to the Pacific, Atlantic, and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on
domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030,” according to the Department of Energy.

[“Air Strike in Pakistan ‘Legitimate, Self-Defense,’ Pentagon Official Says,” 6/11/08, http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=50178]
Morrell said U.S. and Pakistani officials are investigating the incident. “We are aware of some of the concerns that have been
expressed by the Pakistani army and other elements of the Pakistan government,” he said. “And I can tell you that we are
working with the Pakistani government to try to get to the bottom of this incident so that they have a better understanding of it,
[and] so that we have a better understanding of it.” U.S. military officials said three coalition aircraft launched the counter strike
into Pakistan, where enemy fighters fled after attacking coalition ground forces in Afghanistan’s Konar province.
