But it wasn't just 2005 Energy Bill that put McCain at odds with the wind power industry. During the construction of that bill, McCain voted for an amendment that barred federal subsidies for all wind power projects that fell within 20 miles of "high scenic areas." That amendment failed 32 to 63. Six months later, McCain voted for a Republican budget package that all but eliminated renewable energy programs for farmers, cutting funds from $23 million to $3 million, despite the fact that program had been responsible for more than $66 million in grants for 400 clean energy projects since 2003. A few months after that, moreover, McCain skipped a vote on green tax credits in the economic stimulus package - a program that would have benefited companies, business, and individuals who employed wind and other renewable energy sources.

Updates will be provided throughout the day. Don't go too far.

Update: The Grist, in a thoughtful piece, lays out how while superior to Bush on this issue, McCain is still "behind the curve" on climate change.

Update II: McCain's "Hypocritical Wind Power Speech" courtesy of The Wonk Room at Think Progress. If you want to know McCain's real record on this issue in recent years, one that has ensurd there has no progress on wind power, this would be a good place to go. They have the goods.
