TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: Nuclear power isnt the only answer, but if youre concerned about climate change, which I have been for many years, it certainly reduces green house gas emissions. Theres another area thats important, and thats clean coal technology. Despite what may have been said by someone else, were going to have to continue to build coal fired plants. And what we need to do though, is improve and develop the technology, clean coal technology, so we dont continue polluting and continue to contribute to green house gas emissions, which threaten our very planet. So, as we achieve energy independence, we also will eliminate or reduce the cost of energy. Offshore drilling has to be done and we have to do it now, and it can be a bridge as we exploit enormous amounts of natural gas and oil deposits off of our coasts.
