Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE) is a natural gas provider founded by T. Boone Pickens. As reported on dontgo-movement.com, Speaker Pelosi bought between $50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in Pickens' CLNE Corp. in May 2007 on the day of the initial public offering: "She, and other investors, stand to gain a substantial return on their investment if gasoline prices stay high, and municipal, state and even the federal governments start using natural gas as their primary fuel source.
