John McCain said during a visit to one of Michigan's nuclear power plants that the nation needs more nuclear power to decrease its reliance on oil.
The Republican presidential candidate's visit Tuesday to DTE Energy Co.'s Fermi 2 plant came a day after Democratic rival Barack Obama spoke in Lansing about his energy plan.
Among Obama's ideas is getting 1 million 150-mile-per-gallon plug-in hybrids on the road within six years.
McCain wants to see 45 nuclear power plants built by 2030. He says that "if we really want to enable technologies of tomorrow like plug-in electric cars, we need electricity to plug into."
McCain is expected to return to Michigan on Aug. 13 for a pair of high-priced fundraisers in southeast Michigan.

A plan for the future.A maybe it will work,maybe not deal.Say anything to get votes.It's no new news about what needs done.Oil prices went up along with everything else to the poit it ruined lives of many people.So we hear what we want to hear.We hope for prices to come down and many jobs to pop up.Not likely to be fast enough no matter who is elected.Promises that may not be able to be kept.Not enough is clear about many things,Not been thought out long enough.Long term effects not known.The more nuke plants all the better targets for terriost to attack.2030 is how far off?by then many may of hit rock bottom or worse.Planning ahead to far is so stupid.Mans wisdom is not carefully thought out and has failed how many times?Man don't mention what God plans for this earth and how many things have already came true.What if in a month Gods final plans come upon the earth?One step at a time as so many things can change for many reasons.It's all about raiseing money and saying anything.
