O.K., this is the type of column that really bugs me.  WHAT bill?  Name the 
number of the bill.  So far, I find several that would fit the bill which 
NEITHER of the no-choices voted for.  BOTH were NV.

Was it HR3221, HR 6049, HR 6?  What bill was it?

The cost of energy to run our computers, vehicles and chainsaws will
affect homesteaders everywhere. Both Obama and McCain have received
money from Big Oil--as with most monster industries, they hedge their
bets. McCain is dependably in their pocket. Obama appears more
resistant.

Here is an excerpt from a Thomas Friedman column:

Given the fact that Senator McCain deliberately avoided voting on all
eight attempts to pass a bill extending the vital tax credits and
production subsidies to expand our wind and solar industries, and
given his support for lowering the gasoline tax in a reckless giveaway
that would only promote more gasoline consumption and intensify our
addiction to oil, and given his desire to make more oil-drilling, not
innovation around renewable energy, the centerpiece of his energy
policy — in an effort to mislead voters that support for drilling
today would translate into lower prices at the pump today — McCain has
forfeited any claim to be a green candidate.
