Reid: McCain's energy plan is 'pure baloney'


(NECN: Denver, Colorado) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed of Nevada, spoke Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.

He focused on John McCain's constant push for offshore drilling. He says "lets review the facts. White House analysts congressional analysts and the oil industry all agree that offshore drilling wont add one drop to our energy pool in 10 years." He then quoted T. Boone Pickens saying " we can't drill our way out of this crisis".

Reed says that even though know one quite knows whether offshore drilling will pollute the coastlines, he says "kindly old Doc McCain would like to sell it to ya anyway."
