WHO: Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Doug Holtz-Eakin, Senior Policy Director, McCain 2008
WHAT: Press conference call to discuss Sen. Barack Obama's energy policy.
WHEN: Monday, August 4 at 10:00 a.m. EDT
SUMMARY
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and McCain policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin criticized Sen. Barack Obama's energy policy during this press conference call. "Anyone who says that we can achieve energy independence without that - without more nuclear power, without more offshore drilling, without more clean coal - that individual either doesn't have the experience to understand the problem we're faced with or isn't being straightforward with the American people," Cantor said. Holtz-Eakin highlighted McCain's proposed battery incentive, which would provide a $300 million prize for the designers of the first zero-emissions electric car battery. Holtz-Eakin also attacked what he claimed was Obama's plan to create a government-run venture capital fund to stimulate innovation in new forms of energy.

I thought that Obama was thinking about about adopting the tboonpickens plan? He should, so should McCain. I read the article about Obama and the boone pickens plan at?? http://www .TheObamaP lan.com I cant figure out which one of these two Im voting for., Im hoping a third party candidate will surge so I can get behind another candidate other then these two. I would of Voted for Huckabee, Clinton, or Ron Paul. Geesh. .BarrPaul0 8.com , I just cant bring my self to vote for McCain. He seems like his age might be wearing on him a bit. The last thing we want is for McCain to end up a puppet., like hes already showing signs of. Did you see where that reporter stumped him and he just sat there not saying a word for like 2 minutes??? Unreal. Or the clip of him cussing, man what a potty mouth. LOL I think the video was at http://www .McCanes.c om This election season is just one big dissapointment after another. The only that makes it worth watching is the candidates gaffs and antics.
I think Paul is thinking about running on the LP ticket. http://www
