He also hammered Barack Obama's energy plan.

I spoke up against the administration and Congress and Senator Obama, when they gave us an energy bill with more of giveaways to big oil and really no solution to our energy problems.

McCain called for a federal investigation into DHL's latest plans.

Raising taxes in a bad economy is about the worst thing you can do because it will kill even more jobs when what we need are policies that create jobs.

America has the second highest business rate in the entire world. It's any wonder that jobs are moving overseas and we're taxing them out of the country. Unfortunately, Senator Obama's plans would raise taxes on businesses even more.

What we need today is an economic surge. Our surge has succeeded in Iraq militarily. Now we need an economic surge to keep jobs here at home and create new ones.

Now is the time for action. And when I'm president, we are going to get it done.

I admire and respect Senator Obama. For a young man with very little experience, he's done very well.

We need to reduce the tax burden on businesses that choose to make their home in the United States of America.

I proposed a plan to build 45 new nuclear plants before the year 2030. And that would provide 700,000 jobs for American workers.

We have to drill here and we have to drill now and we have to drill immediately.

We have to drill here and we have to drill now, and we have to drill immediately.

I think he might be a little bit confused, because when the energy bill came to the floor of the senate full of goodies and breaks for the oil companies, I voted against it. Senator Obama voted for it.

Senator Obama has said that expanding our nuclear power plants -- quote -- "doesn't make sense for America" -- unquote. He also says no to nuclear storage and no to reprocessing. I could not disagree more.

Unfortunately, Senator Obama continues to oppose offshore drilling. He continues to oppose the use of nuclear power. These misguided policies would result in higher energy costs to American families and businesses and increased dependence…

We need to offshore drill for oil and natural gas. We need to drill here and we need to drill now.

I'm going to lead our nation to energy independence and I'm going to do it with a realistic and comprehensive, all of the above approach that uses every resource available to finally solve this crisis.
