Environmental Blog: Palin Makes News Yet Again

Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin is building up her flip-flop reputation yet again, this time to environmentalists. A recent blog from Tree Hugger states that Palin accepted the stimulus funds, yet said no to $29 million appropriated to the Alaskan State Energy Office. Environmentalists argue that she refuses this funding because she does not want to make Alaskan buildings more energy efficient.

Silly Palin. This makes environmentalists very unhappy. By turning down the greenest portion of the stimulus funds offered to the state of Alaska, she pretty much just put "going green" as last on her to do list. By putting this on the back burner, she ultimately stops the rippling effect of a more sustainable Alaska before is has even begun. Are we sure Palin wants to get re-elected? Her good looks and charming personality can only take her so far.

What's worse, this blogger states that Palin is the only governor to refuse the funding to the state energy office. I can only say one thing about her decision to opt out of going green. If she wants anything to do with remaining a huge player in the game of politics, then she is currently committing political suicide by refusing this money. This will be held against her in all her future endeavors, so she better put a bandage on this issue real quick. Regardless of her personal ideology, she must cater to this growing concern of her constituencies.
