Beware of accepting government largess-it isn't free,Governor Sarah Palin warned.I resisted the stimulus package,and we have slashed earmark requests by 85%.Other states should follow this.Let's not start believing that government is the answer,Sarah Palin urged.
We can still carve wealth out of the wilderness,Governor Palin believes.It's what our first people and our parents did.We have come so far in the first 50 years of statehood.
Some still are choosing to not hear why she chose a new path,Sarah Palin complained.It is because she loves Alaska so much that she is avoiding the typical lame duck last year of a governor's term.She can fight for Alaska better that way,and she doesn't need a title to do that.She promised to be like a grizzly bear protecting her cubs.Here it is impossible to lose your way,she explained.We have that great North Star to guide us to the True North.God bless Alaska and God bless the United States of America,she concluded.
Immediately she was finished,Lieutenant Governor Sean Parcell was sworn is as the next governor of the 49th state.Sarah Palin's first major appearance of her new phase will be at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley,California in a few weeks' time.

Early Edition:Palin's Firey Farewell
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin bade a lively farewell to state politics in Fairbanks on Sunday,delivering a speech that marked a new phase in her public career,as well as the completion of an old one.Speaking to thousands,including tourists and supporters from other states,in a sun-drenched Pioneer Park,at the third in a series of governor's picnics around the state,Governor Palin minced no words when addressing the media.How about,in honor of the American soldier,you stop making things up?she asked the press corps.The fact that Americans volunteer for the military shows our best days aren't behind us,she observed.As for outside special interest groups,they just don't get it on hunting and second amendment rights.Hollywood needs to know we eat;therefore we hunt.
Turning to one of her favorite talking points,the governor said that,after decades of just talk,we're seeing oil and gas drilling at Point Thompson.And now we are on the road to the largest public/private energy project in the history of America,the natural gas pipeline to the lower 48 states.The pressing issue of our times is energy independence.You can be both pro-energy development and pro-environment,Sarah Palin insisted.

Alaska's Buried Treasure
According to the U.S. Geological Survey,Alaskan waters cover more hydrocarbons than was previously understood.It had been supposed that the Chukchi Sea area held 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas.Now the USGS thinks there is far more natural gas there.They estimate the Chukchi field contains 30% of the world's undiscovered total,or 1.6 trillion cubic feet.As well,some 4% of the world's undiscovered oil is now believed to be under Chukchi-about 83 billion barrels.
The Chukchi Sea is off Alaska's northwest coast,roughly between Point Barrow and the Seward Penninsula.It is bisected by the International Date Line,with Russia being on the other side of the line.The U.S.Congress has yet to approve exploitation of the resource,while Russia is going ahead with the activity.Critics of Congress point out that alternative energy is still in its infancy.It will be at least several decades before it is viable,they contend.Alaska has the energy resources we can use today,Governor Sarah Palin insists.Environmentalists are concerned that development in the area will harm wildlife such as polar bears.
