Mr. Pearce's campaign manager has it all wrong. Congressman Pearce has "been standing in the way of America’s ability to move forward on energy, education, the economy, on issue after issue.” Congressman Pearce has consistently opposed extending tax credits for renewable energy since he was elected in 2003. It would have increased the economic potential of wind and solar energy . Now he is crying "the sky is falling" with rising gas and oil prices. Where was this guy all this time - counting his oil money?
Mr. "Hemingway" - recently you quite loudly and boldly defended Nathan Small when Michael Swickard brought up the issue of ethics and "feathering nests". Now you loudly accuse Pearce because he has a background in the oil & gas industry. By the way, I believe Pearce no longer owns the oil & gas company he used to own in Hobbs.
If I'm understanding you position, it appears you believe it is acceptable for democrats like Nathan Small and Jeff Steinborn to push wilderness legislation that would clearly benefit them in their personal investments (Steinborn's family land holdings and development interests) and professional careers (bonuses or promotions gained by attaining more wilderness acres), but it is unacceptable for Pearce to have a position on legislation that affects an industry he was involved in, but is no longer a part of.
When Pearce sold his company, he received 542,000 shares of Key Energy Services stock at $9.50 per share. This was only part of deal. So he is out of the oil business? Congressman Pearce made millions when he was in Congress. I believe Nathan Small gets a hefty $20,000 per year. There is A BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
Also Congressman Pearce has started investing in Double Eagle Petroleum Co., a Wyoming company. Double Eagle Petroleum Co. explores for, develops, and sells natural gas
and crude oil, with natural gas constituting more than 95% of its production and reserves. So he is still involved in the oil business.
