John McCain's Renewable Resources Campaign

In the article I found, it talks about John McCain's campaign ad and how he states "Renewable energy to transform our economy, create jobs and energy independence, that's John McCain" but his plan doesn't have any specific spending on renewable energy. The article states that in his campaign it has pictures of wind turbines in the background but he doesn't actually talk about what renewable energy sources he would use. It also states that he has talked more about nuclear power and "clean coal" and has even talked about the cost of it, but has not talked about the cost of the renewable energy sources like wind, hydro power, and solar power, the energy sources that would never run out.

My opinion on this is that its ok how he talks about the nuclear power and "clean coal" and how he pretty much has a better game plan for that rather then the other renewable energy sources. I think its ok as long as he uses those energy sources to help build the renewable energy sources that will never run out. I think if that was his idea that he should have mentioned it because it the people of the US are paying for it in taxes I think they would like to know what they are paying for and would be happier if they know its going to something that is helping build energy sources so that America would not have to rely on oil and foreign countries for it.
