Apparently not content with Congressional approval ratings falling below 10%, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently called drilling a “hoax.” According to The Hill, Pelosi said that “this call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration [designed to] […]
