Environment splits candidates

UN embassador Keyes and senator Obama of Hyde park are competing for a US senate seat in the upcoming election. Keyes has shown little support for the enviroment while Obama has displayed great concern for enviromental issues and the relationship between federal government and the enviroment. Obama has brought issues to the table such as the negative impacts of drilling for oil in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, Bush's lax mercury emmission standards and, the possible increase of automobile fuel efficency. Keyes claims that he does care for the enviroment, but states that federal policy must not enfringe on the rights of business owners. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cdh/20040927/lo_cdh/environmentsplitscandidates
