McCain on Clean Energy

In 2005, McCain voted against a renewable portfolio standard that would have required the U.S. to get 10 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

And in both Dec 2007 and Feb 2008, he missed crucial votes that prevented clean energy packages from passing the Senate floor.

Should have predicted it. Here's the response McCain gave to Grist back in October '07 on subsidies for green tech:

I'm not one who believes that we need to subsidize things. The wind industry is doing fine, the solar industry is doing fine. In the '70s, we gave too many subsidies and too much help, and we had substandard products sold to the American people, which then made them disenchanted with solar for a long time.
