According to John McCain, Sara Palin “knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America.”
Here’s Tom Tomorrow’s response [1]:
Really? Sarah Palin knows more about energy than, say, anyone in the Department of Energy, thousands of Ph.Ds in academia, or the CEOs of dozens of oil and gas companies?
I agree with Tomorrow, based on the depressing literature from the oil industry itself. [2]
Considering my somewhat informed understanding America’s energy woes combined with Palin’s simplistic claims that we can lick the energy problem without a serious focus on conservation, I’d have to ring up McCain’s claim regarding Palin’s status as “energy expert” as yet another lie.
