McCain: Improve Efficiency Of Government Cars, Buildings
From CBS News' Clifden Kennedy:
(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) Sen. McCain said this afternoon, "the facts of global warming demand our urgent attention" and pledged to make federal government cars and offices buildings more energy efficient.
"From now on, we're going to make those civilian vehicles flex-fuel capable, plug-in hybrid, or cars fueled by clean natural gas," he said. "If our great goal is to move American transportation toward lower carbon emissions, then it should start with the federal fleet."
Sen. McCain offered his energy ideas before holding a round-table discussion at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
He also called for a redesign of the national power grid.
