Internet sleuths are really something else, I swear.
Someone digging around over on Reddit discovered an article entitled “Palin Pleased with Obama’s Energy Plan”, including some downright awesome comments from the woman herself:
“I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,” Governor Palin said. “The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs.”
You may notice that I linked to a cached version of the page. There’s a good reason for that. If you actually go to the current version of the page… it’s been removed. All that you’ve got now is a list of recent articles mentioning Palin.
Clearly someone’s trying to erase history here.
It’s still there, they did remove the link though

Here’s another part of that history we wouldn’t want getting lost in the ruckus:
The Governor did question the means to pay for Obama’s proposed rebate — a windfall profits tax on oil companies. In Alaska, the state’s resource valuation system, ACES, provides strong incentives for companies to re-invest their profits in new production.
“Windfall profits taxes alone prevent additional investment in domestic production. Without new supplies from American reserves, our dependency and addiction to foreign sources of oil will continue,” Governor Palin said.
