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”?

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!

VIRTUAL MARCH DAY 2 - Boone Needs YOU

The Department of Energy has released the oil import figures for the month of March 2009. The data shows we imported 386 barrels at a cost of $18 billion. While we are importing less oil because of the recession, the percentage of oil we are importing is remaining disappointingly stable. The March numbers show we imported 65% percent of the oil we used.

Over the past 12 months, America has had to import nearly two-thirds of the oil we need. In 2008 that amounted to $475 billion dollars. Keep in mind, this is not a one-time payment like a stimulus package or a bail-out bill. This is an annual cost of over $400 billion per year.

Just wanted to make a comment about burning alternative fuel. A lot of the good ole' red neck boys have been running their pickups on propane for years. Also when I lived in Chicago, the CTA was running some of their busses on propane. That was 60 years so the Japaneese and Europeans are not necessarily always ahead of us.

Comment by Karl Hyzer on March 29, 2009 at 10:32am

I like the idea of natural gas trucks, than cars. But it will have to be a while for me, as I don't have natural gas available at my house, were propane. But I guess it might work. If I remember, 20 years ago when I was in Japan, they had cars that ran on propane, or was it natural gas. And when I was in Germany, they had flash-heaters for their hot water, that was also 20 years ago.

Why is is we are so far behind the Europeans and Japanese in energy technology? I thought we were the world leaders? Guess not.

Let's make ourselves world leaders again. I'm in.

Steve,

Great questions!

The Pickens Plan is concentrated on heavy duty vehicles. While an individual may burn 3 gallons of gas per day, 18 wheelers and service trucks burn more than 10,000 gallons a year. Getting heavy duty trucks to switch to clean, cheap, domestic natural gas greatly reduces our imports.

On the personal side, it is far more efficient to purchase a new natural gas car, than to convert it yourself. And that is why the up coming Virtual March is so critical! WHEN we get Congress to give incentives to build the infrastructure, manufacturers will build the stations and Detroit will be forced to meet the market demand for new natural gas vehicles.

Is the use of natural gas aimed mainly at big trucks and public transportation vehicles? This would be a huge step in the right direction, I think, but what about the typical everyday vehicles? Where can you find information about possible retrofit, or new cars ready to use CNG?
thanks
