And while [McCain]’s acceptance speech promised “the most ambitious national project in decades,” including efforts to improve energy efficiency, increasing oil production remains the centerpiece of his strategy.

I really wonder about what’s happening in his strategy meetings.

Either way, it’s really disappointing.
