Conflict of Interest, There, Nan?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or 'Nan' as Michelle Malkin calls her, is implicated in a potential conflict of interest scheme over her obstructionism on oil drilling and her support for 'wind turbine' technology.

It seems 'Big Government Nanny' Pelosi has hefty investments in the 'big wind' industry of former oilman T. Boone Pickens!

California has also placed on the ballot several initiatives to be voted on by residents this November that have to do with a heavy push toward 'wind turbine' technology, which would supposedly replace dependence on oil by up to 50% in just a few short years.

Of course, in order to reach that goal, T. Boone's companies would have to place wind turbines by the thousands on hillsides throughout California.

This is the plan that Pickens wants all of America to adopt.

Can you imagine a windmill on every lawn, in every field, on every hillside, and on every building in America? This is practically the number of wind turbines it would take to replace 50% of our dependence on oil.

Now back to Nan.

Nan has consistently refused to allow an up or down vote in the House on offshore oil drilling. Yet the entire time she was investing heavily in 'big wind.' In fact, she and T. Boone are practically using the very same talking points.

But what's the difference between that 'evil' enterprise called 'big oil' and 'big wind'?

Health advocates claim that 'big wind' is more damaging to the public health than 'big oil. ' Oregon Live has an interesting report on the ill health effects of wind turbines located near residences.

But Nan and her liberal comrades in California made sure voters' propositions were placed on the November ballot to approve the plan to expand big wind as no other industry has expanded in recent memory.

And guess who would be one of the major beneficiaries of such an expansion?

T. Boone and his investors, such as Big Government Nanny Pelosi.

Do I smell a conflict of interest, there, Nan? Is your opposition to oil drilling related in any way at all to your personal investment in wind turbine technology?
