McCain-Obama Debate Ignored Impact of Economic Crisis on Energy Plans

Well let's see, if the jerks in Washington hadn't waged a very wrong and illegal muti-trillion dollar war probably for the oil and the wealth it brought friends like Halliburton and Black Water, they could have used that money to help fund energy independence but being as short sighted and greedy as they are, of course they stood by until we're in the middle of an energy crisis, an economic crisis and a military crisis. We all know off shore drilling is not an effective solution now or in the future. Why are there not greater incentives for development of solar, wind and water power and other possible solutions? Those industries would help create jobs but we're so beholding to the Saudi's and Dubai who have us by the proverbial pocket book that it won't happen as long as people like Palin and McCain are in power. Those two, like Bush would rather fund the bespoiling of what is left of nature then to admit they have it wrong. McCain and Palin should be very careful of the accusations they contrive considering their penchant for lobbyists, pork barrell spending (like bridges to nowhere) and illegal activities (like firing someone for the wrong reason Ms. Palin or McCain's involvement in the Keating scandal). In any case, I want to know how any of this gets funded without the off setting tax revenues that so called patriotic republicans are so loath to pay.
