Offshore platforms littering the nation's coasts. Oil derricks pumping in the last refuges of Alaska. And even more record profits for Big Oil. It's a grim future if Big Oil has its way -- but we still have time to stop them and promote the clean energy future we deserve. In the last weeks before the election and into the next year, legislators will be considering measures that would open up millions of acres to more drilling -- even though Big Oil already has permission to drill on almost 70 million acres -- and even though Bush's own Department of Energy has admitted that more drilling will not lower gas prices! Drilling along our coastlines and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will not solve our country's energy problems or ease our dangerous addiction to oil. We cannot allow Congress to be fooled by the smooth talk of Big Oil -- take action today! Take Action ...

Newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has made clear she's open to teaching creationism in public school science classes and to oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). While her running mate, John McCain, has spoken up on some science issues (pro-off shore drilling, anti-opening ANWR to oil exploration), less is known about his positions than those of his Democratic opponent Barack Obama, who recently answered a series of questions on everything from climate change and energy to stem-cell research.

Republican John McCain: Favors increased offshore drilling and building 45 nuclear power reactors by 2030. Crystal Benton, speaking for McCain, said he proposes no federal spending to help in construction of the plants. McCain believes the goal can be achieved with loan guarantees in existing law, with resolution of the impasse over waste disposal and with financial advantages the industry would have as a zero-emissions power source under his cap and trade program, she said. McCain opposes drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Proposed suspending the 18-cent a gallon federal gasoline tax but idea got no traction. Global warming plan would increase energy costs. ...

I missed the veep debate last night, spending the evening at Christopher Wheeldon's Morphoses (check out Oberon's Grove for a superb writeup of the evening's program--I'll relay my own impressions later), but it appears Sarah Palin bewitched the men folk in the punditry with her fetching blink. Roger Simon, whose brains seem to have been leaking through a sieve ever since he joined Politico, was one of those smitten with her eyelash action. But if people thought she was going to look like a dumb bunny for 90 minutes, they were disappointed. She said what she wanted to say, and she was so relaxed she even winked at one point. Really! An actual wink during a National debate, when she said she was going to try to get John McCain to change his mind about not drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I hope that wink wasn't a lurid signal that Palin plans to bestow lipstick favors on her running mate to get him to change his mind about ANWR, breathily promising him that she'll show him the true meaning of drilling in Alaska if only he'll say yes. That would be so wrong on so many levels. Perhaps she intends only to "wink him off," to paraphrase the famous joke told by Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail. But even that would be a dismayingly inappropriate way to further the cause of domestic oil exploration, in my opinion. As for Rich Lowry (courtesy of Kos), he too felt Palin's wink winging his way. I'm sure I'm not the only male in A ...

"We see a rough few years ahead for the markets and the economy in the United States; however, if you were determined to invest in the U.S. and McCain wins the election, we would look at defense, pharmaceuticals and oil," says Martin Hutchinson in The Money Map Reporter . "If you were bound and determined to invest in domestic stocks, a McCain presidency would be good for defense stocks, as defense spending would be higher, so you might look at Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE: NOC ). "It would also be good for the large patented pharmaceutical stocks, as they would not be subjected to price controls as the Democrats currently propose. "Among pharmaceutical stocks Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK ), with a forward Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of about 10 and a 5% dividend yield, looks like a good value. "A McCain presidency would also be very good for domestic oil companies, which would expand their offshore operations, their work with such unconventional oil sources as shale, and possibly even drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. " EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE: EOG ), for example, is rapidly expanding production in the huge Bakken oil fields of the upper M ...
