Nice comments, John and Robert. I don't think that Mr. Purvis's political comments are helpful. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Pickens Plan is that it truly IS bipartisan -- both Republicans and Democrats support it or at least large chunks of it. Further, Mr. Obama has done more to advance development of renewables and getting us off of foreign oil than any president in history. Here's just a small example from Wired magazine: "The teardrop-shaped Aptera 2e electric three-wheeler has been officially deemed a car in the eyes of the Department of Energy.

President Obama has signed legislation making high-efficiency two- and three-wheeled vehicles eligible for the same loans the department has granted to Tesla Motors, Fisker Automotive and others to spur the development of high-efficiency automobiles. "

That type of action will help a lot; now, let's continue to support renewable infrastructure, build that green economy, and get our commercial fleets on natural gas as T. Boone has been saying.

Nooooby has done more for energy than TBoone. Because of him we have a national conversation and this website to share our thoughts. He works like a horse and has been very generous with his money. I must agree that Washington, D.C. is 100 square miles surrounded by reality. Working in the framework of our system at times is very frustrating. Mr. Purvis what have you given? Perhaps Mr. Purvis would briefly share his proposed solution?

1 serving of sour grapes for Mr. Purvis

What are you doing this month to be energy aware? Among other things I am researching natural gas and trying to determine if it's time to get a natural gas vehicle.

Be sure to visit the Hatch/Pickens op-ed and leave a pro-Pickens plan comment that encourages other Utah leaders to get on board.

Senator Orrin Hatch and Boone Pickens wrote a great commentary published in the Salt Lake Tribune. If you haven't seen it--here is the link.

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.
