    Left-field, Out of touch, Clueless

    At best- McCain is out of touch; a more cynical description probably has improved accuracy. McCain's answer to the energy pinch is most telling: nuclear power! Can there be a less useful and uninformed response? The Nuclear Regulatory Agency doesn't even have an approved set of plans. There is no pending plan; no institution will fund these dinosaurs. The technology for producing fuel is no cleaner than it was in the 60s. 30% of new construction has been halted because of gargantuan cost overruns. We need a leader- not some mastodon stuck in the tarpits!
