McCain & Obama agree on something. (outside reading post # 3)

Recently I read an article about our presidential candidates, Barrack Obama and John McCain. I found this aritcle in the Star Tribune and it talked about how different Obama and McCain's ideas are, but they do agree on something. The environment, which has been becoming worse and worse, is obviously a huge issue for both candidates. The article says that no matter who is elected, we should expect some major changes to make the environment healthier and make the U.S more eco-friendly. Obama says that even with the currently poor economy, he will make it a priority. An envronmental goal of both candidates is enactment for climate-change legislation centered on a "cap and trade" mechanism. This legislation sets a ceiling on emissions that will decrease over time. He also says that he would use $150 billion of the auction revenue over 10 years to help improve nonpolluting vehicles, wind and solar power, technology for capturing emissions form power plants, and other energy technologies.
