Palin: "And the production of oil up there in Alaska is not without untoward incidents. The Exxon Valdez in an effort to supply people in the lower 48 with a fungible resource accidentally spilled 11,000 gallons of fuel in Prince William Sound. A conservative Supreme Court decided during my term as Governor to cut the damage award to hard working Alaska citizens to a pittance."

P.S. The actual size of the Exxon Valdez spill was 10.8 million gallons of crude oil. Governor Palin, energy expert, missed it by 10.79 million gallons, well within the margin of error approved by big oil companies. You betcha!

And James A. Baker noted early in the Bush administration that America cannot reach energy independence in an oil based economy.

Thanks for posting this!

It's clear which ticket actually will pursue renewable energy alternatives and which one will stay the course and keep our dependency on oil.

Erik, Congre$$ had the option of pursuing "alternate energy" way back in the early seventies; they could hav emade ethanol a part of the U$A's energy package but they chose not to because BIG OIL's lobbyists are that powerful.

Same ol' same ol'

throw all the RepubliCON$ out of Congre$$ and the White Hou$E!
