Pelosi: U.S. Must Change the Energy Marketplace @ 12:40 pm by Michael O'Brien
The United States must be a force to change the energy marketplace, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday.
"We must change the energy marketplace so we can save our country and our planet," Pelosi told attendees of the National Clean Energy Project Roundtable held Monday in Washington. "It is a moral, environmental and health, economic, and national security issue."
Pelosi touted Congress's work under her leadership to address environmental issues, including provisions in the most recent stimulus package, and the establishment of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
America is at a "crossroads" when it comes to energy policy, the Speaker asserted, and said she is hopeful to set a renewable energy standard this year. Pelosi said she hoped to set a standard of 25 percent renewable energy in American supply by 2025.
The Roundtable, hosted by the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, was held at the Newseum, and included speeches from former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, and Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The meeting was chaired by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
sure Nancy, right after we find jobs for the 500 MILLION Americans you claimed recently were losing jobs each month....(eyes rolling)
...from rolling brownouts and blackouts and then a return to the stone age.
Pelosi’s god is mother-earth.
“We must nationalize the oil companies!!!”
-Hugo Chavez or Nancy Pelosi? You decide.
Pelosi will save us all with puffs of wind and mirrors. I’m sure nukes will not be part of any solution and coal is headed for the dustbin. Kinda hard to see where any solution will come from.
What’s that? Stop using energy?
OK, I’ve got it!
I wouldn’t worry about energy now, Nazi Pelosi, nobody is going to be able to afford it soon anyway, thanks to MORON’S like you.
Pelosi is what we call taking a carp in our house
ME: U.S must change its political leadership...
...let’s start with either windfarms or a nuclear plant right in the San Francisco bay.
So has Pelosi decided how she wants to kill us?
She can't think straight about the unambiguous moral issue of not killing unborn children, where does she come off telling people what is moral when it comes to energy production and the environment?
We have four time sthe Saudis oil reserves in the lower 48 states onshore. If we developed this energy - we wouild “reboot” the U.S. economy but Obama, Pelosi and Reid want to wreck the economy.
Actually, I think her God is Paul Pelosi.
The NUTS are running the Asylum in Washington.
Yes, isn’t it ironic that the Porkulus law sets aside $30M to save a small part of the environment for Nancy’s mouse, while she is proposing to cover millions of acres with solar cells and wind farms.
The mice and other critters displaced by solar don’t count in Pelosi’s small mind. Nor do the hawks chopped up in windmills.
