Salon: McCain lies about his support of clean energy

(or, heaven forbid, conservation)?

This is one of my frustrations with Obama. If anyone could make an eloquent case for changing our habits and behavior towards the goal of using less energy, and frame it in a way that doesn't hurt his electability, it's him, but he has not dared to try.
I feel like I've heard conservation suggested by republicans more than democrats over the last few years.
Agreed. I feel like Obama's begun to pander to the lowest common denominator, alas, and deal too much in feel good generalizations, rather than in adequately elucidated policy statements. It may be a necessary realpolitik strategy, since the Dem's have had their butts handed to them by Rove, etal in the last two presidential elections. Once again its the choice of the lesser of two less than desirable options. Both party candidates are corporate shills, but McCain, IMHO is much more so. That said, I think Obama holds considerably more hope for a substantive policy shift.
