A question for Nancy Pelosi, hands-down winner of the 2008 Box of Rocks award. SanFranNan, where does natural gas, that “alternative to fossil fuels,” come from? Might is be, oh, I don’t know ... UNDERGROUND? To power the entire vehicle fleet of the United States you’d need to DRILL how many wells?

As always, thanks for these threads!

The Queen Bee thinks Oil Companies Should Pay Royalties.

“You want to talk about drilling offshore? Let’s talk about profits made by the oil companies without paying royalties,” Pelosi said Monday morning before members of the California delegation to the Democratic National Convention. “They’re taking your oil without paying any royalties.”

Drill Now Revolt Continues

Today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi jets her way into the fourth week of her book tour with a dismal sales rank (as of Saturday night) on Amazon.com of 22,184th. Some 22,183 books are selling better than Pelosi’s own as House Republicans maintain their high-voltage revolt on Capitol Hill and nationwide demanding that Pelosi bring the House back into session for a vote to end the Congressional embargo on offshore drilling.

Instead of returning to debate their colleagues on practical energy policy last week, Democrats kept floating their wacky ideas. Democrat Majority Leader Steny Hoyer asked the Office of Personnel Management to provide him with “a comprehensive analysis” of a transition by federal government employees to a four-day work week.

LOL. Maybe the 4 day work week is the Dem's answer to conserving energy.

BTTT!

What Congress might do on the offshore drilling issue (Pelosi's in no position to "compromise")

"Q: I read your article regarding the limit on offshore drilling for oil that is set to expire on Sept. 30. What if the speaker of the House will not even bring it up for a vote? Does that mean the ban on most drilling will expire and we could start more drilling? This article really got me thinking, because I watch a lot of the news programs and no one has mentioned this. I would appreciate your comments, because that was one of the most interesting articles that I have read recently.

A: Thank you for your positive feedback.

My understanding, from speaking with various folks who keep close tabs on Congress, is that the Democratic-controlled House is seeking to combine an extension of the ban on most drilling for another year with the annual spending bill, which will be waiting for congressional action upon their return from vacation in early September. If Republicans stick to their guns and oppose the annual budget bill because it includes another extension of the offshore drilling limit, this could lead to a government shutdown if a compromise isn't reached by the end of September..."
