"- Tax credit to companies taht maintain or increase US based jobs
relative to overseas."  How about addressing the problems that have led so
many companies to offshore so much of their business.

"- Windfalls tax for oil companies (not sure how that would work)"
  The oil companies surely wouldn't pass this new expense onto the
consumers.  Or would they?

"- Against offshore drilling, but recently hedged his position."
  Exactly.  He hedged when the opinion polls changed.  Good politics.

"- Against nuclear power plant development (which sucks)"
  Have to keep the green vote.  You are right.  It does suck.

"- Require utilities to generate 25% of electricity from renewable
resources by 2025."
   Whatever.  This kind of stuff never ends up working.  It will probably
drive energy prices up as the industry tries to make the change.

"- Tax credits to employers that subsidize employees' mass transit."
   Subsidize.  Nasty word.


In the end, it's politics as normal.  Good sound bites that don't actually
mean anything.
