Global warming is not man-made
Q: What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?
A: A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.

CNBC "Kudlow & Company" Interview
Q: The Congress is going to take their summer recess without a vote on rolling back the moratorium on drilling on shore and off shore. Nothing on ANWR, nothing on shale, nothing on the Outer Continental Shelf. What's your reaction to this?
A: Well, it's pretty pathetic, that action that they've taken. Appreciate the president's call to lift the moratorium. Appreciate the president's call to drill in ANWR, to do all those things for American production opportunities.
Q: When we talked about a month ago, you told me you were going to persuade Senator McCain to drill in ANWR. Now actually, McCain's come a long way on drilling Outer Continental Shelf. Have you yet talked him in to ANWR?
A: I have not talked him in to ANWR yet. But yeah, he has evolved into being open enough to say yes to that offshore. Obama certainly hasn't gone there. We certainly need this. We need it for American security, & for energy independence.

From a letter to members of the U.S. Senate & President Bush
"I don't see national energy policy as an either/or proposition," said Gov. Palin. "Rather, we need to develop secure domestic sources of conventional energy, such as oil & natural gas, while also researching and developing alternative and renewable energy."
Gov. Palin reminded senators that opening ANWR to oil and gas exploration would reduce US dependence on foreign sources of oil, increase federal revenues and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
