If you have been watching the news lately, chances are you have seen a story about Governor Sarah Palin. First, she was drawing a crowd of 20,000 people in Auburn, New York, followed by several thousand on Long Island. Then there were those cruel jokes by David Letterman that served to distract people from the fact that Sarah Palin had turned out thousands of people in districts that President Obama carried last year. Perhaps the most important story of this week has been ignored. That is the story of Palin’s pipeline.
For thirty years now, Alaskan lawmakers have been trying to secure a natural gas pipeline that would create a flow of clean burning natural gas into America’s energy markets. That dream is now becoming a reality as Governor Sarah Palin has just sealed the deal on a project which many consider to be the largest energy project in the world today.
In an article published at the Digital Journal, Gary Jackson discusses why this is a truly monumental achievement, as well as why natural gas will play an important role in securing energy independence. Governor Sarah Palin has moved America closer to energy independence by negotiating this project. She can now add this to her list of accomplishments which include: passing ethics reform, a renewable energy plan, a 50-year economic diversity plan, and a prevention based healthcare plan. Governor Palin could easily be considered one of the most accomplished governors in America today.
This also destroys the notion that Sarah Palin is a policy lightweight. A lightweight could never secure one of the world’s largest energy projects. It is time for the critics to stop their incoherent babbling about Sarah Palin not having intelligence and lacking experience. Accomplishments speak for themselves.
