If running with Juan was fighting the establishment and was against crony capitalism even after Juan and she endorsed green renewable energy . I have a question for you, how do you get out of one of those straight jackets, you seem to have experience with them.
Please deign to tell us your perfect presidential candidate. We’re all ears.
Nothing wrong with renewable energy. I had a neighbor once who asked me what I would think if it turned out his then company, Amoco, came up with an energy source that every citizen could own and operate out of their home, with no utility distribution system. I said I thought that would be great. I never heard anything ever come of it, though, and that’s the point. Palin takes an all-of-the-above position. Anywhere we can get energy we ought to be considering, and energy with a small environmental footprint is great, if you can get it. Meanwhile, we have an energy-hungry economy, and Palin knows that and would aggressively pursue policy that would enhance our economy’s ability to grow by supplying cheap energy through an abundance of sources, whatever works.
Thus, to infer that just because she thinks renewable energy is worthy of exploration she is therefore a warm-earther is an unwarranted leap to a false conclusion, as it is an unsupportable conflation of two very different things. Eco-nazism uses greenism as a path to statism. That does not describe Palin’s position at all. Whereas a comprehensive energy policy that looks at everything, whether fossil, nuclear, renewable, or otherwise, but is focused on lifting the American economy on free-market principles, is a validly conservative position because it is a path to greater private-sector prosperity and liberty. And as I know from listening that latter view is Palin’s position, I therefore find her to be consistent in her conservatism even in this.
