Round two of the presidential debate was at best boring. Although it did have its moments, but I once again have to say that McCain could have done better. Obama was as he always is, poised and well spoken, but incorrect and misleading. Case in point would have to be his newest stance on nuclear energy. His favorable position indicates that sees the potential benefits, including the reasonable cost and it environmental aspects. With that said I do recall Obama having a completely different view on nuclear energy just about one year ago. Nuclear energy is a viable energy source, but so is clean coal technology, wind and solar power.
McCain has been what I like to term the all of the above approach. His energy policies would encourage multi level energy sources as a way to 1 - create a diverse market place for fuel which goes hand in hand with lower costs 2- helps create much need jobs for a solid economic stance 3 - makes the US a true power player in the new world of the Green Standard. The opposition has been seen as 'Big Oil' but that really isn't the problem. Most oil companies are currently involved with solid new technology that is Eco friendly. But is Big Oil the actual problem or could it be government involvement? The facts show that petroleum companies make less profit on their commodity than the US government is making just by its tax. Yes tax dollars go to interstate infrastructure, but our worst roads are far more better than many nations best. So the next time you have to endure losing the money you use to fill your tank, ask this, why is it that the government profits on each gallon are double what oil companies make.

Yes, I have to say I learned nothing new about either candidate and was disappointed that McCain didn't get a chance to expose Obama like he needed to. Boring questions! We did not need to wake up to hear "Round 2 goes to Obama" Ugh
