Republicans for Environmental Protection (motto: "Conservation is Conservative!") yesterday released a position paper hauling Sarah Palin over the coals for her "dinosaur energy policy," otherwise known as "Drill, Baby, Drill." The REP referenced a Nov. 17 book tour interview with Rush Limbaugh, during which Palin seemed to imply that our Heavenly Father created oil because He wants people to burn it. When Rush asked Palin to identify "our biggest energy challenge as a country," Palin replied, "Our greatest challenge with energy is that we're not tapping into the abundant domestic supplies that God created right underfoot on American soil and under waters."
Cue the angry green elephants from the REP: "Unless Palin has a connection to the Almighty that the rest of us aren't privy to, it is presumptuous for her to pronounce so definitively on God's intentions regarding oil. Maybe God had other reasons for putting oil underground, such as keeping the carbon cycle in balance so that the atmosphere and oceans can support life as we know it."
