SEN. JOHN McCAIN's energy policy was pretty clear before he accepted the Republican nomination for president Thursday in St. Paul, Minn. He wants to build more nuclear power plants, develop clean coal technology, increase the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, and expand offshore drilling. Despite the swipe Mr. McCain took at his Democratic opponent, there's not much difference between his energy policy and that of Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.).
