Pelosi on Natural Gas: Fossil Fuel or Not?
John D. McKinnon reports on Nancy Pelosi’s statements on energy.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s message on energy, already evolving in recent weeks, might have to evolve a little more.
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. |
Perhaps she slept through fossil fuel class... _________________ 500 MPH into a brick wall - me |

Holy Christ.
If there was any doubt that they're clueless, it's been completely removed. _________________ Massive Human Dieoff must occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where you live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group. |

Yes - we are led around by the nose ring by monkeys.

Bill Maher was on Larry King the other night, and made the following statement:
"America is too stupid to be governed"
Pretty much says it all. Our representatives are equally clueless as the population. |

Maybe she's been reading Thomas Gold's book - or Corsi's?

Of course it's not. It is a probiotic fuel, it is a natural part of the
digestive process deep in the bowels of Gaia and she shoots it
out as little gifts to her children as we dance around the Maypole
and chirp like little birds. If it ever appears to start running out,
Mother Gaia will simply switch to eating more soy and drinking
a beer once in awhile. I wonder if Nancy figured this out on her
own or if Hillary made her read a book on the subject. |

Dear Speaker Pelosi,
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are showing gross incompetence with your statements. You need to step down from office to pursue other endeavors. I recommend the housekeeping or food service industries. |

With scientific illiterates like Nancy Pelosi running things in the Congress, its no wonder the Congress hasn't done anything about the energy facing the US. |

| Sometimes I think peak oil will blow over and we'll muddle through it somehow or another because there are enough educated and rational people out there to fix things one step at a time. But then I read newslets like this and I think: we haven't got a chance in heck! It's all a disgusting freakshow of lies, betrayal and death, and people who think that things can change for the better are utterly, hopelessly mistaken. We need a global war to smash down everything to it's component parts, so that something sane and fresh might emerge. We should do it NOW. |

Yah. I just watched and ticked my doom meter up a notch.
