Natural gas is Everywhere. The oil cartel is dead. Democracies are free to be democracies; free entreprise to assert itself and be free of oil cartels. Yet no one recognizes "the revolution" in their midst. The best and the brightest putz away their time arguing about health insurance. Get real !

Well good to hear that Boone Pickins is doing something besides running around promoting windmills and ‘green’.

“and for bringing Ted Turner along on some sensible approaches to enhancing it.”

Now that is really hard to believe. Somehow I’m not convinced as much as I like Frank.

>The oil cartel is dead.

LOL! No, it is not.

[John123]

it makes sense to tap the nation's vast on-shore and off-shore natural-gas reserves for the purpose of weaning our trucks and government and corporate fleets from petroleum

Hey! I got a better energy plan... let's give Brazil 2 billion bucks to drill for oil...

The oil cartel is dead. Democracies are free to be democracies; free enterprise to assert itself and be free of oil cartels. The oil cartel is very much alive and we are a Republic not a Democracy that is why we are not taping our own oil and other natural resources. They are tied up on Federal land which in my opinion is a oxymoron since the federal is to serve the state not the other way around. We have more resources that has been stolen from the people of the states by the federal government it is a crime that no one cares about. It is one thing to have nature preserves but it is another thing to let our forest burn each year because we are not allowed to cut timber and we are driving on Opec oil instead of taping our own vast resources. I live in Kansas where on of the worlds largest natural gas fields are and I get my natural gas from Oklahoma. It will literally take a second American Revolution to take back the land that the Feds have stolen.

New technology is making natural gas more and more available in vast quantities. Global warming is being debunked. The Greens are having nightmares. TFB.

I’m surprised no one’s made a Blazing Saddles post yet.

Using natural gas to power automobiles, is like using crown royal.....it is too valuable to waste. It is much better used in home heating, and power plants.

Boone Pickens is a hypocrite and a liar.

He is extremely wealthy, yet won’t invest his own money in his debacle plan. If he would then what has been going on in North Dakota wouldn’t have -

http://www2.arkansasonline.com/news/2009/aug/21/no-pipelines-so-nd-burns-natural-gas-20090821

IN short - North Dakota oil fields have been burning off huge amounts of natural gas simply because they have no pipelines. According to the article, enough natural gas was burned off the fields (wasted) in 2008 to heat every home in North Dakota for two years. Yet we pay through the nose for natural gas down here - and wonder why...

Boone and 0bama-types keep crying about energy independence, yet throw money at non-existent problems and stupid “cash for clunkers” and other pork. How about putting the money where the mouth is? While I don’t like the government spending our tax dollars for things outside of the Constitutional bounds - the fed pays for train rails, highways, and bridges which all play into the delivery of goods and such. IF the government is going to mis-spend, at least use it for something that actually backs up what your moth says.

Not only no, but hell no. I’m not going to pay $500 a month to keep my house at 65 degrees all winter long so that Pickens can increase demand for his NG tenfold. I’m paying enough already. Run cars on something else.
