Interview with Palin

After watching and reading about the interview Gibson had with Palin, it's very clear that the woman is still on shaky grounds, trying to act confident in her statements, but the truth is, she doesn't have the experience needed (especially with the state our country is in now) to take over a VP position. Not only that, her policies and beliefs are focused more on foreign affairs (wanting to intercept in Georgia, and the whole Iran/Israel debacle.) Why are we trying to go into every country and tell them how to run it, when we don't even know how to run our own country now? We need help here first.

Additionally, instead of focusing on renewable energy sources that we have the means to attain, she wants to instead open up drilling in Alaska preserves. Now, I did a whole semester project on this in my undergraduate studies of Environmental science, and if we open up drilling in Alaska shoreline and wildlife refuge, this not only endangers the animals that have habitat there, but also completely destroys the fragile ecosystem and environment there. But the most important point is that the oil supply would only be enough to last us 6 months, not to mention is would take over a year or more to obtain the oil. We need to be moving away from oil, and on to renewable energy is we want to help stop global warming and climate change.
Here are two good articles explaining the negative effects: NRDC and U.S. Fish and Wildlife of Alaska
