Palin Pleased with Obama's Energy Plan
Includes Alaska's Natural Gas Reserves Printer Friendly

No. 08-135

August 4, 2008, Fairbanks, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today responded to the energy plan put forward by the presumptive Democratic nominee for President, Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

“I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,” Governor Palin said. “The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs.”

In a speech given in Lansing, Michigan, Senator Obama called for the completion of the Alaska natural gas pipeline, stating, “Over the next five years, we should also lease more of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska for oil and gas production. And we should also tap more of our substantial natural gas reserves and work with the Canadian government to finally build the Alaska natural gas pipeline, delivering clean natural gas and creating good jobs in the process.”

Governor Palin also acknowledged the Senator’s proposal to offer $1,000 rebates to those struggling with the high cost of energy.
“We in Alaska feel that crunch and are taking steps to address it right here at home,” Governor Palin said. “This is a tool that must be on the table to buy us time until our long-term energy plans can be put into place. We have already enjoyed the support of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, and it is gratifying to see Senator Obama get on board.”

The Governor did question the means to pay for Obama’s proposed rebate — a windfall profits tax on oil companies. In Alaska, the state’s resource valuation system, ACES, provides strong incentives for companies to re-invest their profits in new production.

“Windfall profits taxes alone prevent additional investment in domestic production. Without new supplies from American reserves, our dependency and addiction to foreign sources of oil will continue,” Governor Palin said.

Obama shifts, says he may back offshore drilling - Yahoo! News

McLame is for both the Natural gas pipeline and a rebate to consumers.

He is also for Nuclear power NOW and not 15 years from now.

Palin is the ONLY one of the 4 candidates running that is for drilling in ANWR and the only one that believes in an energy policy that isn't smoke and mirrors.

They agree that an automobile with under inflated tires will get up to 15% less fuel mileage.

Obama was trying to make the point that we could save 15% of the fuel we use if everyone would inflate their tires properly.

Obama's logic requires that EVERYONE in the US is driving around on 4 flat tires... which is stupid.

The Reality is that IF EVERYONE PROPERLY INFLATED THEIR TIRES, it would save about .1% of our annual fuel use and not 15%, like the messiah claimed, but then he's too dumb about stuff like that to know differently.

Mc Cain FLIP FLOPS on tire Pressure. Christ! He can't even get this correct the 1st Time.

Obama said a couple of days ago says we all should inflate our tires. I don’t disagree with that. The American Automobile Association strongly recommends it,” McCain said.

What a F-ing DOPE!!!!!

Apparently you are the F-ing dope here. You either have selective hearing or have selective reading abilities....or both.

It's obvious McCain wouldn't disagree with proper tire inflation. However, Obama was presenting that idea like it was a cure-all for the oil problem. That is why McCain was making fun of him, because Obama really thinks that people airing up their tires is going to make us save millions of barrels worth of oil. I made fun of it too, it was an out of touch idiotic comment. I still make sure MY tires have the right air pressure in them, so they don't wear out prematurely and I don't waste my own gas. I guess I am a flip flopper too according to you...
