Americans deserve clean water. But Sen. John McCain has too often taken the side of polluters in opposing stronger protections for our water.
Sen. John McCain has repeatedly called for building 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030, with the ultimate goal of 100 new plants. The plan would be extremely costly to taxpayers, presents significant risk for the economy and the public, and does little to solve America's energy problems.
By electing Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire drivers can ensure that they have a champion fighting for their interests -- and not those of the auto industry or Big Oil -- in the critical decisions that face the next Congress. Her leadership in New Hampshire on important energy efficiency initiatives demonstrates that Jeanne Shaheen is the kind of leader who will move New Hampshire toward a new energy future.
By electing Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire residents can ensure that they have a champion fighting for their interests -- and not those of Big Oil -- in the critical energy battles that face the next Congress. As a member of the U.S. Senate, Jeanne Shaheen will crack down on the Wall Street speculation that has led to disproportionate inflation of oil prices. She will work to end government handouts to Big Oil that waste New Hampshire tax dollars.

Rep. Paul Hodes has shown that he is a leader in fighting for a clean energy future for America that can protect our health, reduce global warming pollution, save consumers money and rejuvenate our economy.
