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.

This week I used the "contact your Representative(s)"feature on the site AND I submitted a Letter To The Editor to the Patriot News in Harrisburg.

Story link:

Please join me by doing these two things yourself. It is very easy and only takes a few minutes of your time. Or just click on the story link and leave a comment of your own after my story :-)

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?

Would you be willing to tell your representatives that you support natural gas fuel and want them to take action NOW? All you have to do is click above and fill you some very basic info then hit send.. Really, that's it. Under 5 minutes. We need to make our voices heard and this is a very simple yet effective way to do it. Thanks..

Hi All,
This link will take you to an article in the Phildelphia Inquirer regarding PECO's improvements regarding "smart grid" technology. PECO was awarded a sizeable grant for improvements covering meters, solar, and wind projects.

Please read this story regarding the potential of natural gas:

"Shale gas is the most important energy development since the discovery of oil"

Then take the time THIS WEEK to write a letter to your local newspaper and/or contact your representatives in the House and Senate and ask them to pass the legislation we need NOW to begin to transition to a clean, secure, domestic energy future. This story shows that the capacity is there and we already know the technology is there. All that remains is to demonstrate enough WILL on the part of the American people to make it so...
