Udall, McCain visit Rocky Mountain National Park — and disagree on nothing
Senator John McCain, left, checks out a tree damaged by mountain pine beetle along with Senator Mark Udall, right, at Rocky Mountain National Park on Monday.
Democratic Senator Mark Udall — who calls quirky Eldorado Springs home — visited Rocky Mountain National Park with Republican Sen. John McCain on Monday to check out the effects of climate change on national parks.
And after, the pair gave a press conference, agreeing with each other on every point (despite one being just another “Boulder liberal” and the other being the former Republican candidate for president).
- Climate change is real. Check.
- Comprehensive legislation to address climate change will have to wait until after health care reform is, somehow, put to bed. Check.
- The president needs to lead the way by coming up with such carbon-limiting legislation. Check.
- Nuclear power is a necessary part of any future energy mix. Check?
This was not the first time Udall has come out in support of nuclear power, but it’s still a reversal from his original position.
Here’s what Udall told reporters on Monday:
“I agree with Sen. McCain that nuclear power has to be a significant part of the mix,” Udall said. “There are some that would say, ‘Well, Senator, that’s a change of view on your part.’ It may be, but as I’ve listened and learned and studied, it’s clear that if we want to respond to the threat of climate change, nuclear energy has to be part of the solution.”
