Nancy, Where Does Natural Gas Come From?

At the end of last month, Nancy Pelosi was touting natural gas as an “alternative” to and a “transition” from fossil fuels in complete ignorance of the fact that natural gas is itself a fossil fuel.

She’s not gotten any smarter in the past three weeks.

As they reversed their long-held opposition to more offshore oil exploration, Democrats said the increased taxes on oil companies in the bill and the collection of royalty payments from the drilling would yield billions of dollars to help finance the development of cleaner, renewable energy sources.

“We’re not trying to give incentives to drill, we’re giving incentives to invest in renewables and natural gas that will take us where we need to go,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told reporters before the vote.

Can someone – anyone – please, please, p-l-e-a-s-e tell this chucklehead where natural gas comes from?

Unless she’s planning to construct a complicated series of tubes, suction devices, and pumps to collect the gas emitted from the hindquarters of cows, we are going to have to drill for natural gas.

Because it’s all underground.

Because it’s a fossil fuel.

Dear God, who put this woman in charge of the House of Representatives? I swear, at this point, a pet rock would do a better job, and know more about energy.
