Default Palin - I'll change the light bulbs in the White House

Govenor Palin is now saying that one of her primary roles in a McCain White House would be to address energy issues. Of course Alaska is the leading state in percentage of electrical power generated from oil with literally hundreds of small communities depending upon diesel generators alone. It could also be noted that Alasak has no solar or geothermal power generation and the most recent article that I've read was that they were still talking about wind generators.

So either she wants the US to use more oil for electrical generation, her area of expertise, or she plans on changing the light bulbs in the White House to save energy. One could only hope that she would select the second option.

Solar power in the land of the midnight sun? Yeah that will work. Geothermal is being bounced around but there is a problem. We have plenty of natural gas for generation where geothermal is viable. Where geothermal would be great there isn't enough of a population for it. Geothermal is very large scale. These isolated communities only have a few hundred people. It’s a tough situation that governor Palin has been working on but there are no easy solutions.
