So basically she's been delaying any energy bills until she can get a more favorable end to the process. If you have to take out a loan to heat your home this winter thank Nancy Pelsoi.



So don't count on anything being done about fuel prices until next year. Gas prices rose sharply this Spring and nothing was done, and now we can expect another 7 months for the Dems to even begin to act on anything. They will have wasted a over a year without voting on energy. I suspect their solution isn't going to make anyone happy, but if the election goes the way they predict.....we won't be able to do anything about it.
You should be thanking Pelosi for providing cover for the offshore drilling issue, otherwise it would be just Republicans floating this popular, yet hollow, attempt at energy legislation.
