McCains Stands

John McCain

--------Favors increased offshore drilling and increased production as primary means to break dependence on foreign oil; opposes drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.----------Offshore drilling has pros, like the increase in gas, but a lot of cons to consider to, like constantly needing manned facilities to be kept above sea-level. offshore drilling is act of extracting underground resources which lie underwater near the shoreline, or easily said as when you get the resource from under ground to above ground for uses. Offshore drilling is an hazard to or environment, do to the fact of potential oil spills. My stand on offshore drilling is disapprove do to all the hazards to the environment, i am all for helping not hurting the environment.



----------Mandatory reductions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by 66 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, using a market-based cap-and-trade system that would increase energy costs.-----------
