Because renewable fuels are not a historically established industry. Plus they don’t need the help that oil companies may need to control prices. But subsidies are a very bad strategy in any case. they restrict the free market and have negative consequences.
Because he is just another in a long line of money hungry Republicans who lie, cheat, and steal all the money out of the people who they are elected to serve. Scum, the lot of them!!!
Because McCain has received huge donations from the oil companies since after he flip-flopped on drilling and thew his support for it. The oil companies own the politicians, it’s clearly obvious.
Or you could as why does Obama want to subsidize unproven sources of energy with windfall profit taxes of a known good product and risk increasing the price of everything?
Because the oil companies, which command a major influence over the Republican Party, seek to suppress any alternatives and maintain monopoly control over transportation energy supply. Current attacks by oil industry mouthpieces on biofuels like ethanol are very revealing.
Furthermore, what McCain and supporters fail to realize is that, though fossil fuels are getting more expensive, almost by the day, alternatives continue to become cheaper and more affordable — without billions in government subsidies.
Oil is dirty, environmentally dangerous, economically devastating, and depleting. Continued reliance on it as the soul source of transporation fuel is tantamount to economic *******. Might as well just hand over you bank account numbers to the Middle East…
Where do you get your information? I think if you really wanted to know where McCain stands on the issues, you need to check out his official website.
McCain on Energy
I believe that McCain has a real energy plan that would start helping immediately. Then his plan would continue to help by actually doing what has needed to be done for over 30 years.

Well he wants to develop renewable look at his plan on Johnmccain.com and his speeches. A lot of the oil subsidies we do give are to Encourage research into alternative fuels. The idea we are giving them money to add to their bank accounts is silly. The subsidies are for research to find alternatives, thats why their are subsidies to them. Just look at the Subsidies themselves, READ THE BILLS (I have) don’t believe the stuff people just spew which are true but are meant to make you think the government is just giving cash to the oil people. Government gets 3 times the profits the oil companies do through taxes BTW!!!! IF they make 20 percent profits in return and the government taxed 40percent of the total revenue then the government makes something like 3 times the amount the oil companies do!
But Out of anyone on the right McCain is the most Liberal on the issue No drilling in Anwar (however you spell it), tax credits for solar placement on houses. You cant criticize him for not supporting alternatives, hes the one of the big ones who scream it from the top of the hills of the senate floor.

no such this as ” renewable fuels ” once the energy is spent it’s gone
Rather than taking what someone else tells you, why don’t you look at the bill McCain voted for to “subsidize” the oil companies?
Would you be surprised to learn that the “subsidies” the oil company’s receive are really not subsidies, but incentives to induce them to develop alternative fuel technologies? After all,if you are asking an oil company with a multi-billion dollar infrastructure devoted to oil, why would they develop technologies that will compete with their own?
Subsidies are provided to make things possible. Incentives are provided to make things desirable.
Corn-based ethanol is a disaster. It costs about as much as oil but produces less energy per barrel. The process of converting corn to ethanol uses about as much energy as it produces. Diverting large amounts of corn, even feed corn, to ethanol is one of the reasons food prices are so high. Even before oil prices started shooting up, there were riots in Mexico City because cornmeal had become so expensive that many Mexicans couldn’t afford to buy the cornmeal they use to make tortillas. Tortillas are as much a staple in the Mexican diet as bread is in ours.
Don’t buy the garbage about Brazil achieving energy independence through ethanol (made from sugar cane). Brazil was using very little oil to start with: the average Brazilian used the equivalent of about four barrels of oil a year; the average American uses about 27 barrels a year. So Brazil didn’t have far to go to close its energy gap.
Why are we imposing high tariffs on Brazilian ethanol made from sugar cane so it’s not economically feasible to import it? Cane-based ethanol is a more efficient source of energy than corn-based ethanol.
Subsidized ethanol makes it feasible for corn farmers to grow corn for ethanol rather than food.

Why did your “messiah” Barack Hussein Obama vote for billions of dollars in tax breaks to oil companies in the Cheney Energy bill?
Because it’s more realistic.
because he is dumb as ****! that is why!
VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever voted for a Republican?

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY !!!!
because that wrinkly white hair guy cares more about his pockets than the environment.
Because the reneweable energy companies have too little money. Big oil, on the other hand, are big contributors to his campaign.
Because McCain has received huge donations from the oil companies since after he flip-flopped on drilling and thew his support for it. The oil companies own the politicians, it’s clearly obvious.

your smoking the liberal socialist weed again
Barrack Hussein Obama
A Clear and Present Danger to the American way of Life
Big Oil is paying for McCains campaign.
Obama wants to end the USA’s dependence of foriegn oil, fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine.
The GOP and the McCain campaign would cease to exist with BIG OIL ****** and their $$$$$$
