"If they're victorious Tuesday, they'd better go to someone other than Al Gore on energy and environmental matters," he said. "They've tipped the balance way -- unnecessarily so -- toward protecting the environment."

How can someone say the balance is unnecessariy tipped toward protecting the environment?  The pollution has got to be cleaned up.  If the USA sets the example - like they used to do - others will follow.  Obama wants clean coal production.  I agree Tom, there's nothing wrong with that.  Heavily taxing the polluters forces them to clean up.  If whoever owns the production plant, doesn't see fit to clean up production, then let someone who will clean it up, own it. 

Pallin keeps talking about drill baby drill, but she happens to want to drill in a protected park.  She keeps saying America has all the oil it needs under the ground.  It doesn't.  Alternative power sources, and clean power sources need to be developed.  There is a horrendous argument going on right now about the Tar Sands up north in Canada.  They're getting the oil out, but at a terrible cost to the environment, and the wastage of water.  Seems to me I heard that the Premier of Alberta wants it stopped.

I'm sure most of you have heard of Tesla and his work with electrical energy.  Allegedly, when he died, his apartment was ransacked by government agents, and his papers stolen.  It's time the government used Tesla's theory and developed his type of electricity.
