You did leave out some prudent items, but I guess this is to be expected. 

IFILL: Governor, I'm happy to talk to you in this next
section about energy issues. Let's talk about climate change. What is
true and what is false about what we have heard, read, discussed,
debated about the causes of climate change?

PALIN: Yes.
Well, as the nation's only Arctic state and being the governor of that
state, Alaska feels and sees impacts of climate change more so than any
other state. And we know that it's real.

I'm not one to
attribute every man -- activity of man to the changes in the climate.
There is something to be said also for man's activities, but also for
the cyclical temperature changes on our planet.

But there are
real changes going on in our climate. And I don't want to argue about
the causes. What I want to argue about is, how are we going to get
there to positively affect the impacts?

We have got to clean up
this planet. We have got to encourage other nations also to come along
with us with the impacts of climate change, what we can do about that.

As governor, I was the first governor to form a climate change
sub-cabinet to start dealing with the impacts. We've got to reduce
emissions. John McCain is right there with an "all of the above"
approach to deal with climate change impacts.

We've got to
become energy independent for that reason. Also as we rely more and
more on other countries that don't care as much about the climate as we
do, we're allowing them to produce and to emit and even pollute more
than America would ever stand for.

So even in dealing with
climate change, it's all the more reason that we have an "all of the
above" approach, tapping into alternative sources of energy and
conserving fuel, conserving our petroleum products and our hydrocarbons
so that we can clean up this planet and deal with climate change.

IFILL: Senator, what is true and what is false about the causes?

BIDEN:
Well, I think it is manmade. I think it's clearly manmade. And, look,
this probably explains the biggest fundamental difference between John
McCain and Barack Obama and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden -- Gov. Palin and
Joe Biden.

If you don't understand what the cause is, it's
virtually impossible to come up with a solution. We know what the cause
is. The cause is manmade. That's the cause. That's why the polar icecap
is melting.

Now, let's look at the facts. We have 3 percent of
the world's oil reserves. We consume 25 percent of the oil in the
world. John McCain has voted 20 times in the last decade-and-a-half
against funding alternative energy sources, clean energy sources, wind,
solar, biofuels.

The way in which we can stop the greenhouse
gases from emitting. We believe -- Barack Obama believes by investing
in clean coal and safe nuclear, we can not only create jobs in wind and
solar here in the United States, we can export it.

China is
building one to three new coal-fired plants burning dirty coal per
week. It's polluting not only the atmosphere but the West Coast of the
United States. We should export the technology by investing in clean
coal technology.

We should be creating jobs. John McCain has
voted 20 times against funding alternative energy sources and thinks, I
guess, the only answer is drill, drill, drill. Drill we must, but it
will take 10 years for one drop of oil to come out of any of the wells
that are going to begun to be drilled.

In the meantime, we're all going to be in real trouble.

IFILL:
Let me clear something up, Sen. McCain has said he supports caps on
carbon emissions. Sen. Obama has said he supports clean coal
technology, which I don't believe you've always supported.

BIDEN: I have always supported it. That's a fact.

IFILL: Well, clear it up for us, both of you, and start with Gov. Palin.

PALIN:
Yes, Sen. McCain does support this. The chant is "drill, baby, drill."
And that's what we hear all across this country in our rallies because
people are so hungry for those domestic sources of energy to be tapped
into.

They know that even in my own energy-producing state we
have billions of barrels of oil and hundreds of trillions of cubic feet
of clean, green natural gas. And we're building a nearly $40 billion
natural gas pipeline which is North America's largest and most you
expensive infrastructure project ever to flow those sources of energy
into hungry markets.

Barack Obama and Sen. Biden, you've said no
to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy
crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe,
environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer
continental shelf.

There -- with new technology, with tiny
footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of
that. But also in that "all of the above" approach that Sen. McCain
supports, the alternative fuels will be tapped into: the nuclear, the
clean coal.

I was surprised to hear you mention that because you
had said that there isn't anything -- such a thing as clean coal. And I
think you said it in a rope line, too, at one of your rallies.

IFILL: We do need to keep within our two minutes. But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?

PALIN: I do. I do.

IFILL: OK. And on the clean coal issue?

BIDEN: Absolutely. Absolutely we do. We call for setting hard targets, number one...

I wonder what Romney, Rudy, or Ron Paul would had said?
