#1 This is her breaking away from McCain's controlled message again? If so, good on her.

#2 I didn't realize Bush had a energy policy.

#3 Sarah sounds better the more I hear from her. Absolutely wonderful picture of Buster Keaton. Thanks Fred.

#4 The US policy has been to buy as much oil as possible from people who hate us the most. That policy predates Bush by a few decades.

#5 Small sized nuclear reactors all over the freaking place. Solar and wind where they are feasible. Dam up a few more rivers if need be for more hydro. And for the short term drill, drill, drill!

That and flexifuel mandates on new cars to see if any alternative fuels can start compete with gas (and to position us well for the next oil crisis).

The War on Terror will only be truly won when we're free of oil. We will never be free if we wait for the one perfect solution (which is always 20 years out).

#6 Too late. If McCain's compaign announced break with all of George's policies---especially "Nation Building"---three months ago, they may've had a chance.

#7 #5 - from what I've read, it takes about 20 years to get a new nuclear reactor producing electricity. Best time to start is now.

#8 We need a national energy policy and plan. We are 30 years overdue. If foreign oil is cut off, we cannot survive for a year. We are ruled by greedy moronic traitors. Palin sure as hell better break from Bush's energy non-plan. Getting a little late.
