The most important action that can be taken on behalf of environmental issues is the restoration of bipartisanship rather than we Republicans conceding the issue to the Democrats. The single most important action that can be taken to restore that bipartisanship would be electing Sen. John McCain president.
To environmental stalwarts, McCain might not appear to show leadership. But I am confident that if elected, he will pleasantly surprise you. McCain’s true style is to unite rather than divide. He would work with the Democratic controlled Congress on bipartisan environmental approaches rather than continue the current administration’s poor policies.
True, McCain is guilty of pandering in his promotion of off-shore drilling, and even more so in his promotion of expanding nuclear power. Building more centralized radioactive nuclear plants is a bad idea in this era of terrorism and nuclear ambitions of rogue nations such as Iran.
