Nancy Pelosi on
Meet The Depressed last Sunday said something that was shocking:
Quote:
Defending the fact that she is presiding over energy legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives while investing $50,000 in billionaire T. Boone Pickens’ energy scheme, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday said on “Meet the Press“:
"I’m, I’m, I’m investing in something I believe in. I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels. … These investments in wind, in solar and biofuels and focus on natural gas, these are the real alternatives."

From the post on the Journal’s Washington Wire by Journal reporter John D. McKinnon:
On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the speaker twice seemed to suggest that natural gas – an energy source she favors – is not a fossil fuel.
“I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels,” she said at another.
Rep. Pelosi’s spokesman later said the speaker knows natural gas is a fossil fuel, but likes it because it burns more cleanly than coal and oil.
It’ll be interesting to see how Rep. Pelosi’s embrace of expanded use of natural gas, particularly as a transportation fuel, sits with various parts of U.S. industry. Some big industrial users of natural gas have been arguing for policies that steer other sectors of the economy to different “alternative” fuels — keeping the lion’s share of the gas for themselves.

So this is the woman who is keeping us from drilling......maybe she really doesn't know where Natural Gas comes from. Maybe she thinks
Progressives are for progress as well.
Nancy Pelosi is heavily invested in Natural Gas. The only way she can assure that she makes money is if she keeps the price of gas up.
While Pelosi is doing her best to get rich the rest of us are paying higher gas prices, higher food prices, higher energy bills, higher everything.
