The Democratic presidential candidate says his Republican rival has set a similar course. Obama claims John McCain is more concerned about oil company profits and drilling than a comprehensive strategy.
As for his own approach, Obama is proposing a $1,000 energy rebate for families, paid for by a tax on energy-company profits. He's also proposing borrowing oil from the strategic petroleum reserve, conditional and limited offshore drilling, and a new emphasis on alternative energy sources and hybrid vehicles.
