Let’s get to 120 by 11/20/09

Army:

What a couple of weeks it’s been and I have lots to report and something very important to ask.

There’s a new Natural Gas Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives which is headed by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) and Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK). The more than 40 bi-partisan members of the caucus held a major hearing on Capitol Hill. The Natural Gas Caucus talked about how the development of America’s natural gas resources will help set America on a path to energy independence and create millions of new jobs. It was a great event and an important message to get out there.

But here’s the really important part.

We’ve got just under 100 cosponsors of the NAT GAS Act (H.R. 1835) in the House—and that’s great—but I think we can educate more Members of Congress, build on that support and do a lot more.

Click here to email your Member of Congress and ask them to become a cosponsor of the NAT GAS Act.

I think we can get at least another 20+ cosponsors in the coming weeks so I’m calling on every member of the Army to reach out to their Member of Congress right now so that we can get to at least 120 sponsors by November 20th. I’m calling it 120 by 11-20.

I’m going to be working the phones and I need you to as well. Army, we can get this done and show Congress that it’s time to end our dependence on foreign oil.

Click here to email your Member of Congress and ask them to become a cosponsor of the NAT GAS Act.

Stay tuned because we’re going to post regular updates about our progress and highlight those members who are working to get us off foreign oil.

Let’s keep the pressure on!

– Boone

P.S. We recently ran an ad in the news publications which cover Capitol Hill. Click here to view the short video we did about this really unique ad. It’s getting people’s attention.

T. Boone Pickens had an op-ed essay in the Indianapolis Star which reminded Hoosiers that, although high oil prices have dropped off their radar screen “the total amount of U.S. dollars we ship overseas to fund our oil imports is still staggering.” It's easy to write on and submit it to your local paper:

Boone wrote:

If oil stays at the OPEC target of $75 a barrel, we will export nearly $300 billion — a third of $1 trillion that could, and should, be cycling through the American economy instead of the economies of the Middle East, North Africa and South America.

Seventy percent of the oil we import is used as a transportation fuel as gasoline or diesel. Batteries and fuel cells are not ready for widespread use, Boone said, but he wrote:

We have a domestic fuel that can replace imported oil. It is natural gas, and we have a lot of it. According to a recent study we have 2,000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, enough to last for 118 years.

It’s not all about the money. Jobs are a big part of the need to stop depending on imported oil.

The United States should look for every possible way to create more domestic jobs. Jump-starting a natural gas vehicle sector would help do that. From manufacturing, to refitting, to maintaining vehicles, to increased drilling (and providing the tools to do that) and upgrading the nation’s distribution system would produce tens of thousands of jobs starting within weeks, not years.

Hello Team... The week after meeting with Congressman Pierluisi, I met with Josen Rossi, Pres. of the PRMA and CIO of Aireko. Mr. Rossi is one of the leading advocates in the private sector for renewable energy initiatives in Puerto Rico. Josen is totally committed to helping the island become a leader in alt energy and promoting the Pickens Plan. A 2 page June 4 article on pgs 30-31 of El Nuevo Dia is an excellent interview with Josen on the urgency of adopting alt energy solutions on our island.

Robert Bolte, District Leader for PR-01 has been busy 24/7 ensuring that officials in Puerto Rico are fully informed about the Pickens Plan. Recently he met with Congressman Pedro Pierluisi and his District Director Rosemarie Vizcarrondo. Rep. Pierluisi was very enthusiastic about the Plan and the progression of renewable and alternative energy in Puerto Rico. At Rep. Pierluisi's request, Bob will be meeting with top officials involved in energy.

Bob was able to discuss at length how Puerto Rico would benefit from the transition off foreign oil. PR is more dependent on oil than any any state. He was able to share all elements of the Pickens Plan including the use of Natural Gas, alternative and renewable energy and updating of the grid.

Thanks Bob for your support and effort on behalf of the Pickens Plan.
