WOMAN: Senator Obama, you say that punitive taxes on oil companies will solve our energy problems. But economists say windfall taxes will only raise the price of gasoline. You say you’re against offshore drilling. But experts say we need to maximize oil supply while we develop alternative energy. Senator, you are running for President, not us. Why do we need to explain this to you?

ANNOUNCER: What happens when we elect a Senator who doesn't understand supply and demand?  Please, America, let’s never find out.


On energy the choice couldn't be more clear. Here's Barack Obama:



On one side we have a liberal who is beholden to the environmentalist lobby.  He would rather we keep sending our cash to the Middle East rather than keep it here. 

And on the other side we have an bonafide energy expert, Sarah Palin, who has successfully managed Alaska's natural resources (at least in the areas where the Federal government so graciously allows Alaskans to use their own land).

Kudlow: How long would it take? How long would it take? I hear so many, Senator Obama says this, and a lot of Democrats say this, some Republicans, how long will it take Governor? What’s your estimate on this? To start lifting out of ANWR?

Palin: It’s going to take at least five years.

You know, and there are other areas in Alaska too, that have the reserves that need to be tapped, certainly offshore. There’s trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, and billions of barrels of oil there too that need to be tapped.

We also have a natural gas pipeline that is underway now, a process to get that constructed, where we can build infrastructure and allow known reserves of natural gas up on our North Slope - it’s already there, it’s already proven -- to be tapped and flow through a natural gas pipeline.

Our legislature is dealing with that issue right now, getting ready to license a company to build that gas line. Again, to feed these hungry markets

And more of Sarah Palin doing her thing here:



If you are at all concerned that energy costs might skyrocket out of control again, or about the fact that we are trading billions of dollars to the Middle East where it distorts the influence of those countries on us and our foreign policy, then you vote McCain/Palin.

Obama's energy policy:  solar, electric cars and miracle fuels (Same Stuff Jimmy Carter did to no avail), campaign conversions on coal and a very late campaign "conversion" on offshore drilling.

McCain/Palin:  solar energy, electric cars, efficiency, nuclear energy, clean coal, offshore drilling + Energy expert Governor Palin.

Not even a close choice.  Jobs and cheap energy: McCain/Palin
