Because Sarah Palin is from a state like Alaska, one that is crucial on today’s environmental issues and the topic of global warming, and because she may very well be the next vice president of the United States of America (and possibly even president), her views on environmental topics are very important. Since we’ve gone over the views of both John McCain and Barack Obama, it’s now time to take a look at Sarah Palin’s views and next, we’ll see what Joe Biden has to say, too.
Sarah Palin supports off-shore drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. This is something that even John McCain is against. She has however, taken steps as the governor of Alaska to promote “green” technology in her state, and has even established a very reputable Climate Change Sub-Panel. This group will further explore their options when it comes to helping with the environment and provide “green” energy for use in homes, and states that she would like to become energy independent.
However, Governor Palin opposed protecting salmon from mining pollution, she wants to sue the U.S. government in order to get them to stop listing the polar bear as an endangered animal, and doesn’t want beluga whales on that list, either.
