Opinion: Energy Independence The Real Sarah Palin Story Of The Week

Quick, what was the biggest Sarah Palin story of the past week or so?

Was it her rousing introduction of Michael Reagan in Anchorage where she eloquently spoke of his father, President Ronald Reagan? And how about in her speech where she took President Barack Obama, and his big government policies, head on?

Maybe it was her trip to Auburn, NY where she celebrated the life of former Secretary of State William Seward, in conjunction with Alaska’s 50th year of statehood, an event that saw Palin draw over 20,000 people. Seward is the one who pushed for the purchase of Alaska from Russia.

Palin gave a stem winding policy speech in Auburn that saw her again take on the current administration’s big government policies, it’s want to apologize for America when overseas, it’s military readiness, and foreign policy.

It could be the over $500,000 Governor Palin raised for several charities, including autism research and assisted living while in the state. You might even think that it was the crass and tasteless remarks made by a late night talk show host, aimed at Palin and her 14 year old daughter, and the ensuing calls for his firing and his show’s loss of sponsors.

All of these are big stories, for sure. But as usual, the real story got lost by the media.

While in Auburn, Governor Palin spoke at length about America’s need for energy independence and promised a huge bit of news would come out within the week concerning this..

And true to her word, in Dallas, Texas Governor Palin announced to the world of the huge progress on AGIA, the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act.

Governor Palin announced that in a historic agreement, Exxon-Mobil had joined with Trans-Canada to make what some have called a "pipe dream" a reality.

If automakers were to convert much of their production to vehicles that run on CNG, it would be cost effective, as the technology is already in use, and proven, as compared to all of the billions that have been invested in technology that still hasn’t produced a practical mass production car that people will actually buy and can use for more than short trips to the store.

We have 4 times the Saudis oil reserves. The Dems and environmental frauds are stooges for the Saudis. The Saudis own DC.

Countries like Canada, Brazil, China, and Russia realize that ALL ALL ALL that matters is energy and developing it. If you don’t have it - you are SCREWED. We have it but the Dems get payoffs to lock it up with phony enviro claims while the cash rolls in from the Saudis. It is a slow takeover of this country.

Canada can be pretty far left on the east coast but Canada is full blast on oil sands which is a messy environmentally way to get to oil. It has made them possibily the number 2 country in the world in oil reserves and potentially #1. The Saudis LIE about their reserves.

Sarah Palin hit a grand slam home run last week. This will truly make America stronger.

Thanks for posting this, I didn't even know that she was here in Texas last week.

Massive natural gas field was recently discovered in northern Louisiana. U.S has a BOATLOAD of these fields. I’ve read you can even “cook” coal, releasing natural gas. You can also get natural gas from cooking off bio-matter or animal waste.

OPEC would naturally panic (like they did in the 80’s) and dump product on the market making gas super cheap. Can we resist this time around?
