McCain Ignores Environment and Climate Change in Acceptance Speech. Clean Air Canada, September 6, 2008. "In his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night... John McCain mentioned climate change and global warming exactly zero times. He never even uttered the word 'environment'... The closest McCain got to the climate was in talking about energy: We'll produce more energy at home. We will drill new wells off-shore, and we'll drill them now. We'll drill them now. We'll -- we'll -- my friends, we'll build more nuclear power plants. We'll develop clean-coal technology. We'll increase the use of wind, tide, solar, and natural gas. We'll encourage the development and use of flex-fuel, hybrid and electric automobiles. Senator Obama thinks we can achieve energy independence without more drilling and without more nuclear power. But Americans know better than that. We must use all resources and develop all technologies necessary to rescue our economy from the damage caused by rising oil prices and restore the health of our planet."
