Obama, McCain Work on Energy Policy
Key quote: "We don't have to tell you that energy policy is all the rage right now, because every few days the candidates each bring out a new exciting proposal, sparking a new, slightly less-exciting debate. Windfall taxes, gas-tax holidays, and offshore drilling are giving way at the start of this week to Obama's pledge to close the "Enron loophole" (even if you don't know what that is, it certainly sounds like something we should shut right away) and McCain's proposal to award a $300 million prize (from the government, not his wife's checkbook) for a better car battery. Overall, though, the candidates' energy proposals are falling flat — either too flip-floppy, too craven, or just plain unhelpful."
