One more thing on Pelosi that you probably caught too and that Brokaw DID let her get away with: She was carrying on about wind, sun, gas, blah blah (might have been in conjunction with her investment), and she commented on how obviously it couldn't be on-line in real use right away.
No questions on why to proceed with the unproven with a long wait but not on the proven with a shorter wait. He did good on the drilling issue so I'm not complaining.
I'm pretty sure I heard her say they expected the unproven stuff to be on-line by 2050, but she might have said 2015. Of course, she also said drilling wouldn't produce for 10 years (lie) and would only save a couple cents then (lie). I said she looked desperate, but I think frantic describes it better.
You were able to see right through pilosi and analyze her like none others have done.
Great catch on the wind and solar theme. We, Republicans,conservatives, have let them get away with way too much blather on that issue. even Boone Pickens in his wildest dreams realizes that we are rather doomed short term(the next 20 years)without petroleum and its many products.
At best wind and solar will account for a very small percentage of the countries energy needs and our real energy needs should be solved short term by nuclear, gasification, crude, bio and other more readily available fuels.
