Send a holiday e-card to Sen. Specter asking him to support green energy in the new year (sponsored by the Sierra Club).

Interesting Mike. Will be sure to find good ways to utilize this.

I think that it would be nice if we all had a visual aid to show to people when we try to educate them about the potential of natural gas as a cleaner, abundant, domestic energy source and one which can serve as a bridge to a green energy economy.

I found a documentary film, just released a short time ago, that does all these things. It profiles the lives of people in the Haynesville Louisiana area after the find of massive gas deposits there. It also uses a group of experts in the areas of energy and the environment to flesh out all of the things that we have been saying about natural gas. Many of the comments sound like things Boone has been saying since last year...

I am thinking that Army members could use the film to hold screenings for their friends/family/governement representatives/community, etc. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and so a film must be worth a million, lol

Many Army members have told me that they don't know what to say to people or things of that nature and a film like this does the talking for you. At the moment I am working to bring the film to Plan members but I thought I would put this up so you can go have a look at the film website and trailer at least.

Thanks Mike. I used part of the contents in your article to send a letter to the Daily Local here in West Chester.

Folks you can use this site http://publishaletter.com/ to do that in fewer than 3 minutes. See Mike's forum post about this.

Surge in Natural Gas Has Utah Driving Cheaply

According to this recent story in The New York Times people in Utah have embraced natural gas as a vehicle fuel and are filling up on CNG for as little as .87 a gallon (as of last fall). Where is your state at in relation to this?

Pennsylvania is a prime example of states who are missing the ball on CNG. We have huge deposits of natural gas within our borders and in a short time we could have municipal fleets and local/regional trucking operations running on this clean, domestic fuel. Why are we losing in this new energy race to Utah? Our state leaders and national representatives need to be given a wake up call.

Natural gas will bring jobs to Pennsylvania and will cut transportation costs for manufacturers and service providers who depend on truck transportation. In this miserable economic climate you would think that our elected representatives would be scrambling to put our state first in taking advantage of this economic goldmine but, from what I have seen this isn't the case.

The people of Pennsylvania need to understand this. That is where we come in. By writing to our representatives and writing letters to local newspapers and or radio/TV stations we can help inform other Pennsylvanians and in this way bring the benefits of CNG fuel (which is OUR natural resource!) to Pennsylvania.

Hey Mike thanks for posting this. I am clicking the image but it is not taking me anywhere. Can you fix the link or leave it for us here as a comment?

I did send letter to Congress the other day prompted by a T Boone email and sent it out to a few friends. I wish there were a way to see who joins Pickens from those that we refer. Do you know of a way?
