Just for clarification, what he was talking about was a "cap & trade" scheme for CO2 emissions, something McCain supported long before Obama jumped on the bandwagon.
But without getting into partisan politics, how do you expect to reduce CO2 output without somehow making it more expensive? Doesn't necessarily mean electricity would become more expensive, since the expensive coal-fired plants could be replaced with nuclear, at about the same long-term cost - and your grandkids (if any) might have a habitable planet to live on.
