John McCain favors a very hands-off, pro-market approach to technology issues. He opposes net neutrality laws and government actions to increase broadband development. He supports REAL ID, opposes Internet taxation, is a strong proponent of greater regulation of social networking sites against sexual predators, and would favor expansion of H1-B visas (allowing non-American citizens to be employed by American businesses) for skilled immigrants according to “market conditions.”
Supports federal funding for stem cell research on embryos that would otherwise be discarded. McCain opposes human cloning and the creation of embryos for the purpose of stem cell research. Calls for building 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030 with the goal of eventually constructing 100 plants. Believes barriers to nuclear energy are political not technological. Would provide for safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and give host states or localities a proprietary interest so when advanced recycling technologies turn used fuel into a valuable commodity, the public will share in its economic benefits. Also would encourage the developement of renewable energy and has proposed a series of tax credits for companies who are deeply involved with renewable evergy.
