The Nader page had a few updates on individual issues, but I decided to focus on the most recent. The person who posted lasted focused on the candidates and their current views/goals for what they plan to do in office. It was mostly criticism but I most of their points were logical. I did disagree with how they perceived Barack’s energy plan however and I provided a few videos/links on his energy plan.
The following movie clip is an interview with Barack and how he plans to use new forms of energy. Everyone seems concerned that he is willing to spend so much money on energy, but if you actually listen to his ideas they are long term and well thought out. He has a ten year spending program in which he will invest in the reusable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro. Obviously whichever evolves to be the most affordable and effective will continue to grow cutting down on the necessity for drilling for oil.

The following is a link to Baracks official website. It has information on all of his stances, including energy.

This political cartoon is showing the candidates differing views for energy and fuel. You can see that the public doesn’t agree with most the proposed form of energy but I believe that Obama has a good fuel/energy plan. Also offshore drilling is still relying too much on a system that destroys our environment and will eventually be very expensive.

Finally, you should look at the Nader blog for general ideas and views of other people, but you need to do a little of your own research because the posts can be extremely biased and focused around oppinions.
