Presidential hopeful John McCain seems to have changed his tune regarding his plans for energy security and independence in the latest and last debate before the election. He decided to include solar and wind power in his answer to the energy crisis during the dabate. With McCain's focus on the energy issue being off-shore drilling and nuclear power he has evidently given some additional thought to what viable answers to the energy crisis might be.
McCain must certainly be feeling the pressure now that Obama is ahead in the polls. Therefore, it is no suprise that he has suddenly adopted an energy policy more in line with Obama's. Unfortunately, he still views off shore drilling as an acceptable means to sustain the countries energy needs.
Obama seems to have a better long term energy plan than McCain because Obama's focus is on sustainable, renewable resources. McCain's main interests remain in off-shore drilling and nuclear energy. It is not likely that his plans will truly include other sustainable alternative forms of energy. McCain is only now discussing the alternative forms of energy that Obama is supporting because he hopes it will get him elected.
