McCain continues to promote nuclear option nationally and in Arizona

The Phoenix Business Journal

Republican presidential contender Arizona Sen. John McCain continues to promote the expansion of nuclear power as way to reduce greenhouse emissions and reduce U.S. dependence on fossil fuels and foreign energy sources.

McCain brought the nuclear option up Tuesday night at GOP presidential debate in New Hampshire as well as during recent campaign stops in other presidential battlegrounds. He has been the most vocal nuclear proponent in the 2008 presidential field from either party.

The Arizona Republican says nuclear energy is a safe source that does not have greenhouse emissions that are linked to global warming and climate change. McCain points to the fact that a number of large U.S. Navy ships and submarines are powered by nuclear energy and have not had any problems.
