League Of Conservation Voters Gives Gramm-pa McCain ‘0 Percent’ Environmental Rating

By GottaLaff

So much for Gramm-pa's touting his environmental record. Think Progress smashes that to smithereens:

Zero:

The scorecard ranks members of Congress on 11 key votes based on “the consensus of experts from about 20 respected environmental and conservation organizations.” McCain received a “0″ because he missed every one of those votes.

McCain’s environmental record isn’t so poor just because he’s been absent. His lifetime LCV rating is 24 percent, with his highest rating at only 56 percent in 2003-2004. McCain has voted against tax incentives for renewable energy, updating building code standards for energy efficiency, and modernization of the electricity grid. Furthermore, he does not support any increases in fuel efficiency above existing law.

I guess when your chauffeur drives you around in a horse and buggy, fuel efficiency isn't a huge concern.
