Palin a fan of Obama's energy plan?

I can't link directly to her press release (the Alaska governor's office Web site is, regrettably, down) but earlier this month Sarah Palin apparently liked some material in Obama's energy plan:

“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,” Palin says in the release. “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.”

Politico's Ben Smith also noted at the time that Palin was less enthused about Obama's plan to tax oil company profits, which is somewhat strange, considering that she's instituted a similar tax in Alaska.
