I won't say anything about the VP debate yesterday because it could get ugly and long winded. I suggest you read T's post though. I agree with her.

Since this election isn't and won't be about the environment, I will make one point. Palin went back to energy many times when she didn't know what she was talking about. She talked about her background as a governor of a energy producing state etc. and how she wants to drill oil in Alaska. There is 2 regions in USA that have a significant amount of oil to be drilled. One in the Gulf of Mexico and one in Alaska. The problem with the one in Alaska is that it's in a wildlife refuge which is protected by the law. The fact that there is flora and fauna there that are endangered in an ecologically vulnerable ecosystem is one thing but there is also a law against drilling there! And she wants to get her hands on that oil. Oil is renewable energy...it just takes millions of years to renew it! And it is NOT environmentally friendly. But instead of focusing on solar, wind or hydro energy, she wants oil. But she seems out of touch with a lot of things so it's no wonder.

I have a day off which means catching up with my shows and doing home work. Right now I'm watching the premier of 90210...it's...interesting.

More later
