Gore:: McCain Browbeaten by GOP on Climate Change
The Republican Party has swayed John McCain away from his previous stances on energy and climate change, former Vice President Al Gore alleged today in his speech at Invesco Field in Denver.
“In spite of John McCain’s previous record of open-mindedness,” Gore said, “He has allowed his party to browbeat him” on the issue.
McCain has placed too much emphasis on a cap-and-trade system, which enforces mandatory caps on pollutants and allows companies to trade credits for emitting them, Gore said.
The solution, Gore said, is to invest heavily in clean energies like wind and solar power.
