Because the Pickens Plan relies on
burning natural gas it can only be a first step. We must become energy independent before we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions; it will take money that is currently going overseas to make it happen.
If we can make electricity from Wind and the Sun and even the heat of the Earth, then if we can run our cars on electricity, we will not need foreign oil or natural gas.
There is a natural gas ceiling just like there is an oil ceiling; so, it can only be…

TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority.
The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must drastically improve efficiency .
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
Natural gas is a cleaner form of fuel but does not compare with Hydrogen or bio fuel made from algae and or hemp seed. The Pickens Plan is weaning everyone towards greener pastures : )
