Grist readers know that the governor sports a colorful record on environmental issues. So, for all you greens who plan to watch the big speech tonight, here’s a way to keep score (and numb the pain):

1 Gulp:
- There are more polar bears now than 50 years ago.
- Drilling in ANWR (add another gulp for mention of an immediate effect on gas prices)
- Offshore drilling (add another gulp for mention of an immediate effect on gas prices)
- Hunting
- Alaska oil pipeline increased caribou herds
- Moose stew
2 Gulps:
- Bridge to nowhere
- Windfall profits tax on oil industry
- Standing up to “Big Oil”
Chug-a-Lug:
- Mention of “God” and “oil” in same sentence.
- Expressing doubt about human contributions to global warming.
