Where Does Nancy Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From?

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."
Morning Bell: Where Does Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From? » The Foundry


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.

Re: Where Does Nancy Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From?

This is hilarious! She is the greatest embarrassment ever to chair the House. The push at the convention is this ’10 years’ thing, to have the US completely off fossil fuels in 10 years. Do they have any idea what they are saying? Do they have any clue about the processing involved, how barrels of oil turn into gasoline and just happen to be in underground storage tanks at the station near their gated communities? Pelosi’s blinding ignorance is dangerous. People like her have no concept of the industrial world, and how products are made. There is no alternative fuel with the power to accomplish so many of the processes that create the building blocks of this country. We are not a decade away from eliminating our use of fossil fuels. We may still be a century away.

Why didn't whatever braintrust who hosts "Meet the Press" now call her on this ignorant claim? She did it several times, so there were several opportunites to do so.

No, I watched it Sunday - she wasn't referring to biogas. She really had me scratching my head and wondering what she was talking about. Natural Gas is a fossil fuel Nancy... lol...

Re: Where Does Nancy Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From?

Yeah--I heard Nancy's the video, ha.ha. Natural gas is not a fossil fuel? I think the average kid in middle school would know better than that. Oh, & guess what Nancy--we may have to drill--off shore to get it, which you have been totally AGAINST.

Re: Where Does Nancy Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From?

Nancy Pelosi represents everything that is screwed up about the Democratic Party. She is so idiotic I wonder how she ever got into a leadership position. It says much about the party.

Her approval rating is also at a solid 9%. Doesn't sound like even democrats like her and it doesn't sound like she represents them at all.

Well the only way to get rid of her is voting her out or changing the majority.

San Francisco isn't about to vote her out because she thinks just like they do.

Re: Where Does Nancy Pelosi Think Natural Gas Comes From?

Didnt they also ask her how she can be guiding the funds of the govt to invest in wind power and natural gas when she has a financial investment in wind and natural gas? Isnt there an ethical issue here?
