ABSTRACT

The article announces the differing views of U.S. presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama on energy and labor. McCain has backed the cross-border trucking and opposes drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but is willing to allow tapping the nation's petroleum reserves to help lower fuel prices. Obama opposes cross-border trucking and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife. He did not believe that using domestic petroleum reserves will help solve energy problems.
