Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Practically none but I have been increasing in my passion about the energy situation for some time. Like you, I see this as THE pressing issue for our country.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- I believe that our energy policy (or lack thereof) represents one of the most significant threats to the ongoing prosperity and power of our country. I see a plan such as yours as having arrived at the right time with the right perspective. Both political parties seem to lack the political will to make the kind of sweeping public policy changes that need to be adopted in order for us to overcome and thrive during the emerging energy crisis. I see this plan as a powerful rallying point to exert massive leverage against elected officials (regardless of party) to make rapid and lasting policy moves which will stimulate our skills as innovators.
- What do you want to do to help?
- YES!

Boren was joined earlier this spring by Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (CT-01), Congressman John Sullivan (OK-1), and several others in announcing the introduction of H.R. 1835 the New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act, or NAT GAS Act. The legislation, which would significantly expand the use of natural gas as an alternative to conventional transportation fuel, could quickly reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign energy while simultaneously reducing transportation fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, and urban pollution where dense vehicular fleets are prevalent. Since its introduction the NAT GAS Act has garnered the support of a bipartisan group of 66 co-sponsors in U.S. House of Representatives.
Congressman Boren: “Industry leaders, including Aubrey McClendon, T. Boone Pickens, and many others, have been highlighting for some time now the abundance of domestic gas reserves that we should be developing as a bridge fuel for powering our nation’s energy future. Natural gas is a cleaner, cheaper alternative to traditional transportation fuel and we must harness it as soon as possible to rid ourselves of an overwhelming and harmful reliance of foreign energy sources. The report released today is yet another example of the growing case for increased use of natural gas and for legislation like my NAT GAS Act, H.R. 1835. Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson, Congressman John Sullivan, and I believe the NAT GAS Act can be a defining moment in the history of our nation’s energy policy – and this report helps illustrate that point.”

I will work on that flyer after all. I can't wait to see what you've learned about alternative energy. And I hope to the high skies that people show up. :)

e-mail to your rep. You type in a few key strokes and
it auto adresses the e-mail to all your reps and the GOV.
of your state based on zip code. Has a sugested draft of a letter to send. NEVER EASYER. Spread the word to click on the ACTION CENTER at the main web site.

Todd Stone said… - I agree with all your points.
My thinking about this is that the Pickens Plan has generated a point of focus for this issue. We may not agree with every aspect of the plan but I certainly agree with it's intent.
If anything should provide clarity about this issue, it's that the plan is being supported by the Sierra Club.
Here you have a pretty strong conservative guy working with what has traditionally been thought of as a pretty liberal organization.
To me, this is one of those areas which should be a uniter of Americans, not a divider.
