On the Sierra Club discussion, the organization supports U.S. natural gas as a cleaner fuel than crude oil and coal, although it supports renewable fuels as the cleanest and most efficient fuel. Bruce Nilles will describe the Sierra Club's position and goals, with Denise Bode as interviewer.

During her two terms in office, she added commercial windpower to the state's energy portfolio-rules that opened the gas market for expansion of service, on electricity reliability and providing great security for critical energy infrastructure. She was also president of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) in Washington for seven years.
