Hey, Sarah, before you go…
Let me be the millionth person to congratulate you. You have singlehandedly proven to us all that yes, indeed, anyone can run a government when it’s coasting on oil profits that come off a price tag above $100. You have proven that facts are optional when you’re an elected official. But most importantly, you’ve proven that you really don’t have a clue when it comes to anything outside of Alaska. Which begs the question of whether or not you really knew anything about what goes on inside Alaska.
I give you as an example, your claim that rather than look for ways to decrease your reliance on energy resources that have a tendancy to be priced well above $100, the US government should simply order that more oil be produced locally. Because, you know, there’s just such an abundance of the very things God gave us and all that. There’s just one niggling little problem with your claim, Sarah. The US uses more oil in an average year than it has locally available. In any way, shape or form. You increase oil production, you dry it up faster. You dry it up faster, you need to import more. You need to import more, the price goes right back above $100. But you knew that already, didn’t you Sarah? Sure you did. You’d have to be an idiot not to.
So, let’s ignore this whole global warming thing for about 30 seconds. Pretend like it never existed. You never heard that term. Now, let’s focus on the fact there’s probably a metric ton of proof available to you, and all you’d have to do is read, that says sooner or later, the world is going to run out of oil–it’s not water, Sarah. It’s not a renewable resource. But you knew that too, didn’t you? Sure you did. Again, you’d have to be an idiot not to.
I’m left scratching my head, then, Sarah. What’s your major problem with the idea that the government actually has the nerve to try and encourage companies, by any means necessary, to lay off the oil and such? Obviously it’s not an environmental one. And you’re no longer running Alaska so it’s not really a state issue for you. Or are you just one of those “say no because it’s an Obama proposal” type politicians? That can’t be it, though–that would be un-Amarican, wouldn’t it? Inquiring minds really would like to know. Of course, since I doubt you’ll actually read this, I’ll simply just choose to be content with the fact that mother Sarah knows best. Enjoy your break from politics, Sarah. We’ll all miss you.
