Pelosi stands firm against offshore drilling

Pelosi stands firm against offshore drilling - International Herald Tribune [quote] WASHINGTON: Upon entering Congress in 1987, Representative Nancy Pelosi quickly became part of the solid California front against oil drilling along much of the nation’s coast. The 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill and the steady push to tap the potential reserves off the state’s rugged coast had galvanized Californians and made opposition to offshore drilling part of the political DNA of up-and-coming figures like Pelosi. She repeatedly resisted oil drilling..... This elitist "C.ant U.nderstand N.ormal T.hinking" ultra liberal congresscritter just does not get it. I find her using a 1969 spill to keep california and the country dependent on foreign oil borderline treasonous. Not suprised though. Does she realize that the oil rig technology has improved immensly? What modern data can she point to for her idiotic reasonings?
