CO2 hysteria makes so many people feel so very important

Outside interests short-circuit Alaska's rich energy potential
Recently I attended Gov. Schwarzenegger's Global Climate Summit. It was great to see so much national and international attention to global warming, but there were a few low points that scratched at my pride as an Alaskan.

I had to listen while Florida was singled out as being the state most impacted by climate change. They even used our tag line -- "ground zero for global warming." Then I had to watch Gov. Sebelius claim that Kansas, with far less high class wind density than Alaska, is the "Saudi Arabia of wind." The place applauded in agreement. Just like that another Alaska claim was snatched up by another leadership state.
