Liquefied coal would only address the US dependence on ME oil. It will still be bad for the environment, but 'defense hawks' should love it. If he combines it with the cap regulations, he'd make sure that only green technology is coming out of it. These subsidies, were those for research?

Both programs are basically copies on energy. Also McCAin supports 'clean' coal. Sadly, I don't see any mention of nuclear energy and research into fusion technology.
