Palin’s ‘all of the above’ is really just ‘more of the same’

Sarah Palin gave an energy policy speech on Wednesday. While her audience at a solar technology start-up refrained from the zombie “drill, baby, drill” chant, that didn’t stop Palin from re-emphasizing that message. Unfortunately, even Palin’s “all of the above” policy is empty.
Without imposing a cap-and-trade or carbon tax on emissions, oil and coal will remain artificially cheap, leaving alternative energy start-ups on an uneven playing field to compete. This, of course, will result in more of the same old policy we’ve had for 30 years, which is over consumption of artificially cheap, dirty fuels. Palin said she disapproved of the Bush Administration and Congress’s energy policies, but her plan will also just lead to more of the same.
