So everyone harps and harps and harps ad nauseum about Bush and Cheney having prior ties to the oil industry making them immediate mindless patsies to the Great Satan Big Oil, but what about the Democrats and Big Green? The funny part is that those like Pelosi have DIRECT investments in alternative fuel companies whose technology they’re trying to ran through in legislation. So when these Big Green companies that the Democrats are lackies to start making billions in profits, will there be a call for Windfall Profits Taxes? I guess that will depend on whether Pelosi and her cohorts have sold their stock or not.

How freaking hypocritical, LOL!

“August 18, 2008 (LPAC)–In May, 2007, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi bought stock in the initial public offering of T. Boone Pickens’ company, CNLE (Clean Energy Fuels Corp.). George Soros is a stockholder as well.

CNLE is part of the network of Pickens’ companies set to profiteer off his “Pickens Plan” for a massive shift to wind-generated electricity, and then–so he asserts, a massive freeing up of natural gas for transportation. CNLE provides compressed natural gas and liquified natural gas. Pelosi owns between 100,000 and 250,000 shares.

CNLE is reported to be a sponsor of Proposition 10 in Pelosi’s home state of California, calling for $10 billion in state and Federal funding for companies involved in renewable, clean energy–namely, wind power and natural gas. A sister company operated by Pickens, Mesa Power, is involved in $12 billion of mega-wind farm projects in West Texas. Pelosi also favors Federal tax breaks and financial aid for “renewables” energy projects.”

Pandering to Big Green? Hmmmmmm…billions? Hmmmmm…
dconstru, when did the US go to war for the oil companies? The US hasn’t taken a drop of Iraqi oil years later, but yet you keep blindly repeating the Dems tag lines. Leads to some credibility issues if you ask me. I wish we would’ve taken the oil, my gas would be cheaper.
