The Candidates On Oil Drilling

Category: Presidential Candidate
Posted on: September 28, 2008 11:20 AM, by Sheril R. Kirshenbaum

naturecover.pngOn September 25th, Nature magazine published 'Choosing A Future,' telling us more about where each presidential candidate stands on science related topics. And despite the humorous and uncanny similarities of the front and back covers, this is a very serious issue because it outlines some differences in the candidates' strategies. Not surprisingly, of particular interest to me are their positions on oil drilling which I've posted over at NexGen.

The gist:
Obama: Don't expand domestic drilling and reduce dependence on oil altogether.
McCain: Drill Baby Drill! and expand offshore-drilling.

The full rundown from both candidates on America's energy future is available here from the team at ScienceDebate2008.
