Indie Film “Haynesville” Will Premiere November 23rd On CNBC

“Haynesville” will premiere on Tuesday, November 23rd at 9pm on CNBC. The one hour documentary will repeat that evening at 10pm, 12am and 1am.

The show will also air on:

Sunday, November 28th at 10pm.

“Haynesville”

When the people in rural Northern Louisiana learn they are sitting on a fortune, they struggle to weigh their big dreams against the safety of their community. Some will take the money and run while others learn to negotiate with the big energy companies who are looking to drill into the trillion-dollar natural gas reservoir that lies deep beneath their homes. Will this be easy money or the fight of their lives, in what some are calling the “new gold rush”?

We need to get behind Mr. Jindal for his efforts. BP has lied. They need to be held accountable

Arthur,

Welcome to the LA-07! If you head over the the new Energy Efficiency page on Pickensplan.com, there is a whole host of folks talking about different ways to save energy with insulation.

I'm just joining this group. I live in the Sunset area and have been in La for close to 15 yrs. now. I would love to see this area begin research on solar farms. The type I think that would work very well here uses solar panels to produce steam in a closed loop piping system. The steam is used to power turbines.
I'm not sure were, but Mother Earth News magazine had an article about a system out west some where. This sytem was to supply enough electricity to a med sized town.
Mr Sheoffler did try to put wind generators on abandoned off shore oil platforms in La. but there was too many state hoops to jump through, so he is now proceeding with his project off the coast of Galveston.
I look forward to communicating with this group, great job folks.

One question for anybody. I have an insulation question. My attic runs about 120-140' during the summer. Does anybody know if it would be advantageous to insulate the roof rafters?

Good Afternoon!

We are smack dab right in the middle of August Recess. Members of Congress (MOC) are back in their districts, holding events and Town Hall meetings. This is our time to shine army! While the majority of the current Town Hall meetings are focusing on Health Care, other issues are covered as well. I would encourage you to attend your MOC Town Hall and ask them a few quick questions:

1. What is your plan to end our dependence on foreign oil?
2. If you don’t have a plan, do you support the Pickens Plan?
3. If so, would you sign the Pickens Pledge?
4. Are you a Co-Sponsor of HR 1835, “The Natural Gas Act of 2009?” It’s a vital piece of legislation that, for the first time, gives the right incentives for natural gas to become a viable transportation fuel alternative to foreign oil. It currently has 77 bipartisan Co-Sponsors in the House – split almost evenly between Republicans and Democrats.


To find out where your MOC is having their next Town Hall meeting, visit their website and email/call their office for more information. You can do that here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Also, don’t forget about your Senators! S 1408 is the sister bill of HR 1835 and we need to make sure all 100 members of the United States Senate have signed up as Co-Sponsors! You can check out where your Senators are having Town Halls in your area by emailing/calling their offices for dates and locations. You can do that here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm or by calling the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Together, we can end our dependence on foreign oil. But it is going to take all of us working together. The effort we put in today will give us the secure energy future we want for tomorrow!

Letters to the editor are some of the most effective ways of communication today! Op-Eds and local LTE are terrific marketing tools that allow you to convey your thoughts and ideas to your friends, family and neighbors. They are fun, make an impact and, best of all, FREE!

Help Boone spread his message of ending our dependence on foreign oil.

Do you want to have a letter to the editor you write published in your local newspaper? If so, message me on Push or email me at Geoffrey@pickensplan.com and I can help you come up with a LTE of your own.

It's the little effort we make today that makes the big difference tomorrow!

Thanks to your calls and emails, Congressman Rodney Alexander signed the Pickens Pledge! Rodney Alexander LA05.pdf

Thank Congressman Alexander for his leadership!

Just a reminder, as the Louisiana developer of part of the real solution to using natural gas as an automotive fuel, the XQF-50 home filling system can make the transition away from foreign oil a reality now! Instead of over night re-fueling, it gives gas station filling speeds at HOME without any changes to our natural gas piping infrastructure! Go see www.newgas.biz for more info
