Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Pelosi: We don’t need to drill for fossil fuels; instead, we need natural gas

Michelle Malkin exposes Pe-loco’s need to enroll in an elementary school-level earth science class:

Nancy Pelosi’s mouth emits a lot of natural gas, but she has no idea about how the other kind is produced.

Conn Carroll at Heritage teaches her a lesson:

The day before the Democratic National Convention Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) went on Meet the Press and told Tom Brokaw:

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.

As we pointed out at the time, natural gas is not an alternative to fossil fuels … it is a fossil fuel. And as the “Energy Kids Page” of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) explains, it is a fossil fuel that needs to be drilled for.

One would hope that Pelosi had studied up on the issue since then, but her comments after the House passed a bill codifying the ban on most of the Outer Continental Shelf shows she still does not. Pelosi told The Washington Post: “We’re not trying to give incentives to drill, we’re giving incentives to invest in renewables and natural gas that will take us where we need to go.”

Again, where does Pelosi think natural gas comes from? If the government is “giving incentives” to natural gas, it is giving incentives to drill. That is how we get natural gas.

And to think that Madam Botox is second in line to the presidency!

  1. She obvoiusly doent understand that for the most part the same place yopu drill for that “nasty oil” is the same place you drill for natural gas. Quite often FROM THE SAME WELL. First you get natural gas then you get oil because the natural gas SITS ON TOP OF OIL. And by the way Nancy natural gas produces CARBON when burned so it doesnt offset your carbon footprint (like that is anything but a shell game).

  3. Her idiocy aside…… I believe it’s a huge conflict of interest for members of Congress to be allowed to personally invest in commodities that they have a direct hand in regulating. Seems rather dishonest and unethical.

  5. Pelosi conveniently forgets to mention the reason why she wants Natual gas over oil is due to her stock investment in T Boone PIckens Clean Energy company. For her to have an investment in an alternative energy company and her pushing for alternative energy policy screams CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!!
