TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin called Wednesday for a “clean break” from the Bush administration’s energy policies, which she says rely too much on importing foreign oil. In her second policy speech in a week, the Alaska governor said the recent drop in gas and oil prices shouldn’t deter consumers and lawmakers from seeking alternative energy sources. She cast energy independence as a national security issue and said dependence on Middle East oil leaves the U.S. more vulnerable to terrorists. “We not only provide wealth to the sponsors of terror, we provide high-value targets to the terrorists themselves,” Palin said. “Across the world are pipelines, refineries, transit routes and terminals for the oil we rely on.”—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
