Why is McCain suddenly in favor of solar energy?
McCain has fought against wind and solar and alternative energy for his entire career because he genuinely but mistakenly believes "The truly clean technologies don't work"
Even his commericals show windmills........he's never even voted for solar energy in the last 8 years.

He has borrowed most of Senator Obama's talking points. But just as talk. He picked big oil as his side dish (his term, not mine). McCain is an elitist who thinks the country only deserves what he dumps on it.

There is a difference between saying and doing. Bush said we needed alternative energy last election, but never did anything. Also, Republicans, including McCain, have voted against or blocked alternative energy for years.
The term for what McCain is doing is called lip-service.

McCain is suddenly in favor of solar energy because he is now officially the republican nominee to run for president. Now he can change his tune and suck up to the independents and the party moderates with no worry about delegates changing their tune and nominating someone else.

because of the fact G.W Bush advised him to vote agains it 25 situations.He a lap dogs in case you have ever see one.Watch him actual close whilst a reporter ask a question he would not like.he's biting his tongue.the guy's have been given a temper.can we'd like a guy like this along with his finger on the N button.i think of those 5 years as a POW warpped his noodle.don't get me incorrect.I admire the guy for his militia provider,yet i do no longer choose him making judgements that would desire to result my existence.we choose some new blood in washington.I choose we could exchange out the carry bunch,yet we will not,so slightly at a time will do.Obama won't have all of the adventure some people choose him to have,yet he does have a solid head on his shoulder,and trouble-free sence is what we choose top now.to boot, that why you place a cupboard at the same time,with people like Biden.

ANd yet last night, it is almost as if he blurted it out by mistake, and the crowd went wild. He wants to continue drilling offshore, AND he wants to find better ways of fuel???!!! Thats contradicting himself, and makeing no sense. (Thats like saying, yes I am on fire, and the only way to put it out is with more fire). :P McCain has a mind of jello, and it is getting harder for him to understand what he says. Maybe even amnesia as he forgets what he actually believes in.

Can you please provide a link to verification that he has fought against wind and solar energy? I've never seen anything of the sort. If you can prove to me that he has been against wind and solar, I'll vote for Obama.
Oh, and why is Obama suddenly in favor of nuclear? Why is he suddenly in favor of drilling? On, and on, and on...except I'm being truthful.
Oh, wait, now I see a bunch of lefty blogs spouting about him not being present for clean energy votes, LOL! Got it. I forgot, Obama not voting isn't the same as McCain not voting. My mistake.

hes not in favor of solar energy. he is just lying, because he knows that republicans will believe anything.
- Stl_6stringLv 51 decade ago
He's not. He's just not delusional in believing you can cover the entire country in solar panels to solve our energy problems.
Do you realize, solar energy will be a viable alternative as soon as a Democrat figures out how to tax me for my Sun light?

The reason is simple mathematics. Nuclear energy (which he supports) gives you immensely more energy then the amount that solar would give you for the same amount of investment
