Please help me make a decision.

Palin is John McCain's running mate (Ilex paraguariensis St.-Hil.)

1. Specifically, what has she done for the environment? What?

2. Specifically, what is she going to do for the environment if elected?
Give me a specific thing she is going to do to improve the quality of the
environment.

Does she know the problems associated with drilling? E.g., look at problems
in Pennsylvania with drilling oil and gas.
http://www.alleghenydefense.org/

To say they are going to drill in an environmentally way, specifically what
would be different than what they are doing in the Allegheny national
Forest?

Are they going to change in Pennsylvania for the environment?

Watch out for so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, tornado's, volcanic eruptions and other
abiotic forces keep reminding humans that they are not the boss.

Last I looked, their intent now is not to drill on land-based
environmentally sensitive areas. That is coming from the Senate
republicans. The Dems, senate and house, in general, are still in a no
off-shore drill mode, period. The Vice president plays a part in the
senate, not the house. All legislation begins at the house. Legislation is
law of the land.

The President is expected to execute those laws under his/her executive
branch. Some laws are not effectively executed due to personnel and monies
constraints. Some are simply ignored.

All the dubious changes of heart by both parties, and, their respective
nominees for president and v.p. live me wondering what any of actually
think. Let alone, what they will do in actuality if elected. Nevermind
their past record.

Not exactly correct. All _tax_ legislation begins in the House. Any
other kind of legislation can begin in either chamber.

Who cares? If they need to drill for oil on your front lawn, I say,
"Go for it."

Funny you should mention that.

One of, if not THE only, undrilled salt domes in
the Gulf Coast Tertiary is in George Bush Sr.
"back yard". It is in Memorial Park in Houston,
Texas.

Oil explorationists have lusted for drilling here
for decades but so far they have not been allowed
to do so. Hey, George Sr. could come out for
breakfast every morning with his cup of coffee
and monitor the situation :-).

All the salt domes in the Gulf Coast Tertiary
produced structures that have trapped large
amounts of oil and gas. They were one of the
very early exploration targets since they can be
located very easily using relatively inexpensive
gravity data.

Another "Back Yard" is the Gulf Coast offshore of
Florida. Ex-Governor Jeb could monitor this
drilling. IF there are substantial amounts of
OIL instead of GAS to be found in the area it is
the Gulf Side of Florida. It is the extension of
the Jurassic Smackover trend which has been
drilled onshore Florida with fields such as Jay
field being found and produced.

I doubt seriously if those living in places like
Tampa, Ft Myers or Naples are going to look
favorably about the prospects of looking out the
window of their millions of dollars condos and
see offshore drilling and production platforms.
