CNBC Press Releases

PALIN: WE NEED TO BE DOING EVERYTHING, AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ALSO. AND THIS IS ALSO WHAT KIND OF SCARES ME ABOUT BIDEN AND OBAMA ALSO, IS IT SEEMS TO BE ALMOST A NAIVE NOTION OF THEIRS THAT WE CAN AUTOMATICALLY JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO A RENEWABLE SUPPLY OF ENERGY TO FEED HUNGRY MARKETS ACROSS OUR NATION WHEN THESE RENEWABLES ARE NOT YET PROVEN TO BE ECONOMIC NOR RELIABLE. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A TRANSITION PERIOD FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE RELIANT ON CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ENERGY AS WE'RE WORKING ON THE RENEWABLES, AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE TO HEAD IN THAT DIRECTION ALSO. BUT IT'S GOT TO BE DOING EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO ALLOW THE DOMESTIC SUPPLIES, RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE, TO BE TAPPED, SOLUTIONS PLUGGED IN FROM BOTH THOSE ENDS, AND NOT JUST SKIP THE OIL AND THE GAS DEVELOPMENT AND THE COAL DEVELOPMENT ALSO THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE AS PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT'S NAIVE TO THINK WE CAN GO RIGHT TO RENEWABLES AND THINK THAT'S EVER GOING TO WORK FOR OUR NATION TODAY AT THIS TIME.
