Speaker Pelosi - Energy Independence and Security Act

Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks in favor of the the Energy Independence and Security Act to put us on a path toward energy independence—to strengthen national security, lower energy costs, grow our economy and create new jobs, and begin to reduce global warming.

Specifically, Congress is taking groundbreaking steps to increase the efficiency of our vehicles, making an historic commitment to American grown biofuels, requiring that 15 percent of our electricity come from renewable sources, and strengthening energy efficiency for a wide range of products, appliances, lighting and buildings to reduce energy costs to consumers. The energy bill repeals tax breaks for profit-rich oil companies, and invest that money in clean renewable energy and new American technologies. Not only would this reduce our dependence on foreign oil, the measure would also save consumers billions of dollars.

@sherfdad: Oil companies have been receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies. BP was making a million dollars a day! They DON'T need help! Stop corporate welfare and there will be plenty of money for what really needs to be done!

Nancy Pelosi is completely ruining any chance for this country to become energy independent. How can she refuse to allow a vote on recent bills. Please San Francisco vote her out of office come November.

Democrats for energy independence? Give me a break. Are they for or against nuclear power? Are they for or against wind power? Are they for or against hydropower? They can't take a position, because their interest groups are conflicting. We support wind, just not off my coast.

She and other idiots like her in the House just passed an eighteen billion dollar tax increase that will force the price of gas even higher. Assholes like her will bankrupt this country.

Be warned! This is the truth!
