Meanwhile, Sarah Palin Embraces Renewable Energy. By Kate Galbraith, NYTimes, January 21, 2009. "In his inaugural speech, delivered in Washington on Tuesday afternoon, Barack Obama revisited energy and environmental themes, suggesting that 'each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.' No longer, Mr. Obama said, can Americans 'consume the world's resources without regard to effect.' These notions are in keeping with Mr. Obama's recently announced goal of doubling renewable energy in three years. They also put him in rare concert with his campaign opponent, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who just announced her own wind, geothermal, tidal and wave energy push. Momentarily parting ways with 'drill, baby, drill,' the pro-oil refrain made popular during the Republican presidential campaign, Ms. Palin said last week that her oil- and gas-producing state will endeavor to get half its electricity from renewables by 2025."
