I’m confused. I thought Palin fought for and got passed a measure where the State of Alaska puts up $500 million in seed money for a pipeline that follows the MacKenzie River into Alberta where much of the natural gas would be used in the process to extract oil from the tar sands in Alberta. This story makes no mention of that and instead touts a deal to sell Alaska’s natural gas to Asia.

What gives? Or is she doing both? Can someone help me out on this?

Nice, Sarah. Country First.
The Almighty Dollar trumps domestic energy production and consumption.
This opens the door for the real argument against ANWR drilling:
Oil goes on the world market after extraction. Alaskan oil is likely to go to Japan and Korea. Shipping oil from Alaska to Japan makes economic sense.
Drill, baby, drill. Maybe some jobs for oil workers like Todd Palin but insignificant to domestic energy prices.

No wonder Alaskans want to secede; they’re practically are with the way things go on up there. Talk about a welfare state. The extra tax money looks like the big pay-off to me.

I bet she never saw a bill that stated any of her lies. she is a fine woman who prefers to skate on the line of right and wrong via stealing, using her powers to make people grovel and she demands and accepts favors for her own benefit. Good qualities in have in a dictatorship.

The lower 48 should be able to benefit too.

She is awful.

Palin needs to stop calling her crack pipe a “natural gas pipeline”. Screw her ethics violations, time to call in the child welfare people! I think “unfit” is a good word for her in more ways than one.

Your making it sound as if she is one just not very smart.

why don’t they go ahead and nationalize the oil industry in order to keep American oil and gas in American hands?

I understand your sentiments but that might not be the best idea. One of the problems with Alaskan oil/gas is that it’s expensive. Between the remoteness and climate, it’s among the most expensive energy on earth. One way to mitigate that cost is by reducing shipping distances and Asian oil terminals are closer than the Gulf of Mexico where most of our oil/gas terminals are located. There really isn’t a huge benefit to keeping “our” oil.

I’m curious… how much revenue did the other 49 states share in from the sale of national natural resources to other countries?

We already know that Alaska receives $1.84 for every $1 paid in federal taxes (nation’s 3rd largest welfare state), and that they have the largest revenue stream per capita from earmarks, and that they have no state income or sales tax, AND every man, woman and child just received a check for $3,200 for this year’s share.

So as an alternative we could forbid exporting our natural resources until such time as our needs have been met.

“We” don’t produce anywhere NEAR enough energy to sustain ourselves. The US is a net importer of energy, hugely. “Our” oil and gas are shipped to places where there are more conveniently and ‘economically’ consumed than they would be if they had to be processed through “our” system. Ironically, under that scheme, USer “energy” would become unaffordable because of its scarcity. Unless the energy ‘bidness’ were nationalized, that is; which it should be, probably; especially if there’s truth to the assertion they already make, that energy security IS national security.

Assuming that we have a fair, legal, election and Sen. Obama is our next President, I think he should find a job for Bible Spice in return for the service she’s rendered his campaign. Perhaps she could serve as an “ambassador” between the NHL and Russia?

Look, if you’re going to borrow trillions from the Chinese and fight wars in oil rich areas to secure the natural resource for yourself (or, more appropriately, once American, now multinational, oil companies), you’ve got to provide your creditor with what it wants somehow. Nothing says thank you to your communist benefactor like cheap natural gas from America.

The almighty dollar is their god. While they are in the process of nationalizing our banks, why don’t they go ahead and nationalize the oil industry in order to keep American oil and gas in American hands? Huh?? Oh never mind. Once again the almighty dollar trumps all. Cha-ching.

I would like to see Obama pass a law that no company producing natural resources (oil, gas, coal, etc) can export that natural resource until such time as all the needs have been met in the USA. It is totally ridiculous that oil companies drilling in the USA export that oil to the higher paying foreign market and then we end up in importing that higher priced oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. I think our natural resources should be nationalized, but that’s not going to fly anytime soon. So as an alternative we could forbid exporting our natural resources until such time as our needs have been met.

Badmoodman Says:

Has Gov. Palin committed an impeachable offense? Hardly. Is what she did indictable? No. But it wasn’t appropriate, especially for someone elected as an ethical reformer. And her Orwellian claims of “vindication” make this blemish on her record look even worse.

You asked us to hold you accountable, Gov. Palin. Did you mean it?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I understand why it wouldnt be indictable but exactly WHY wouldnt it be an impeachable offense? She abused power and broke the ethics statute. Looks like an impeachable offense to me.

The verbiage in this article is quiet twisted I really can’t make heads or tails of it it seems that the Alaskans want to keep all the gas even though they don’t need it or sell it to the Asians?
When it’s all said and done that pipeline is just another Palin story of greatness to be realized at some time in our grandchildren’s life time This woman is the quintessential snake-oil salesman

Sarah is looking out for herself and will give dimes to the citizens of Alaska. She is still working in the best interest of the Gas employer and Oil companies in Alaska. Look girlfriend knows they pay her big bucks and that’s what counts. She doesn’t know anything about Govenment or the USA only what’s in it for herself. Now that Sarah has made it to the big stage of America look for her to dump the First Dude. If you notice Sarah Palin DOESN’T WEAR HER WEDDING RING, that the hint and the wink message she gives out.
