Within the last couple of weeks someone posted that Pelosi’s financial disclosure shows heavy investments in alternative fuels, including natural gas. Has anyone confirmed this??

The entire political purpose of ideologies, is to promote people based on loyal adherence to the group-thought, without requiring anything of them, intellectually and individually, besides that loyal conformity. That is what they are for, and it is what they do. The number of mindless followers in the world being much greater than the number of people who think, it is also a highly effective political tactic. People hate having intelligence or merit required of themselves. 99 out of 100 know they would not qualify for anything, objectively.

I agree with that.
You ‘shore’ do talk ‘purtier’ than I do, though.

There is a name for this. It is called the Peter Principle.
Read on, from Wikipedia:
The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence." While formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1968 book The Peter Principle, a humorous treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of Hierarchiology", "inadvertently founded" by Peter, the principle has real validity. It holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Sooner or later they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain. Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out his duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence".

These people are blinded by extreme environmentalism. Our cars burn gas very cleanly, and that is why there is not much said about pollution anymore. Now the focus is on C02, which is not a pollutant but is claimed to cause global warming. Burning natural gas creates C02 just like burning gasoline.

Is it politically incorrect to say this women is dumber than a box of rocks?
Russert, (God rest his Soul) is spinning in his grave that no one had a comeback on the fact that it is a fossil fuel, he would have caught that.
For years were heard about Cheney and Bush and being tied to Big Oil.
Da, sometimes the Gas is found with the oil, does this now make San-Fran-Nan a tool of "Big Gas"?
The 50k or 100K is just a small part of their net worth, Oh really, if so then how does that make able to relate to the little people and champion them.
I do not know about you by my Hypocrisy and Inconsistency meter is pegged....

“Pelosi and her husband drew attention recently for their investment in T. Boone Pickenss Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which markets compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas as a fuel for motor vehicles...”
Imagine the uproar if this was a conservative Republican!
To: Alas Babylon!
I believe that to be true.
I see it every day.
To: DallasBiff
Natural gas is from multiple sources.
Some of them are fossil, such as coal, but it also comes from deep within the core of the earth, where its production is not yet fully understood.

"
We are going to replace high oil prices with high natural gas prices if Pelosi and TBone get their way." Now we're getting down to the real issue!

Nancy the buffoon is full of foul smelling gas but I doubt it's clean and nothing from her could be natural. It's scary to think someone so stupid could rise to a position of such power. If we elect Berry and Joe in November our government will have a trifecta of idiots at the top.

Google up “Nancy Pelosi assets” and try to keep your head from exploding. She's smart in the sense of the swamp of Washington. And her relationship with Murtha can be explained re base closures and real estate investments. “Isolep” is a big name in her business dealings. SHE'S WAY DIRTY.

“Pelosis investment in Clean Energy between $50,000 and $100,000 is a tiny fraction of the speakers assets, as she pointed out on Sunday”
She did! This is clearly a ethics violation. She’s investing in energy generation she has direct power to enrich herself. This should be a huge issue.

On NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, the speaker twice seemed to suggest that natural gas an energy source she favors is not a fossil fuel.Gee queen bee, have any futures in natural gas by any chance?

This is clearly a ethics violation. Shes investing in energy generation she has direct power to enrich herself. This should be a huge issue. It is my understanding that this is not improper.
Congressmen are allowed to call hearings, interview company officials for otherwise private insider trading information, and then place stock and/or bond trades based on that information.
That all is something that isn't bandied about too much. Wonder why?

I saw that too. She’s worth $100 million. Google up “Isolep” and start the fun. All the San Fran names are entwined in this stuff. Newsom is mentioned often as well.
