Tonight, 9/24, CNBC airs "The Hunt for Black Gold," which is to include an interview with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. (scheduled to repeat 9/28)
Energy security is Gov. Palin's signature issue, backed by years of close-up experience. It may be the only subject on which there can be robust debate without its being characterized as taking unfair advantage of her, and thus a rare opportunity for the public to evaluate her approach to governing, her concern for vulnerable people, and her handling of scientific evidence.
But statements concerning the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the August 29 CNBC interview contradict research by the Congressional Research Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey Biological Science Report, and others. Palin appears either to continue the spin, deception, and disregard for scientific evidence we have seen during the past 8 years, or to reveal a troubling unawareness of fact.
