I'm all for this conversion, and will support writing to our senators, but I have to ask if we have enough CNG in America to support this incentive? Here is a website that gives 10 things to know about CNG conversions and it says in one of the answers, that we will end up importing natural gas, as our demand increases.
I know Pickens says we have enough to use in America, for at least 20 years, so why are there other calculations out there, that say we don't have enough. Will someone please pos…

There is one way to get the politicians to listen to the people. Make a noise so loud and consistent that it changes the paradigm of though on energy in this country! When we ALL demand it - in the many millions- there will be no place to hide. When it is political suicide to do business as usual and ignore the simple answer to our most pressing problem.... they will have to know they will be gone. Hit them where they live.
THE ONLY WAY to do that is with sheer numbers. As Thomas Friedman has stated, "like the civil rights movement.. only large, strong and consistent grass roots efforts can create change." WILL you help?
The petition is the fastest way to grow our numbers. I have sent in over 160 in the last 3 weeks. I simply say, "I am gathering support for T Boone Pickens PLan to get us off of forign oil and onto American solutions." I have not found one person who does not want to get off foreign oil.... and keep all that money in this country. Did you know we borrow the money from China that we pay to the Middle East- it is ludicrous!
It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work.
We have a choice. Sit back and let it happen.... or take action and stop it once and for all. We will get what we deserve..... I hope to hell it is energy independance. I am willing to hook my wagon to Boone's horse and plow like crazy to make sure. I hope you will too. WE CAN DO THIS!
The petition link is below in Clynton's message.
Best to you

We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement. .
We need to Push.PickensPlan.com – or “Push” as we like to call it.
Our future really does depend on us at this point in time!

Again Welcome; Tom
I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.
Well as they say (the large lady voiced the end). Neither candidate openly gave his support outright for our plan. Both new about it and to a degree felt the intense support behind it. It goes back to another old saying (be careful what you wish for, or on the political platform be careful how far you put your foot in the door.)
Keep in mind As Sara Lee tells us (you cannot please all the people all the time). As we know in politics, it’s merely a game of giving the mass majority a small taste in hopes they will buy the whole meal.
Imediately to the right you'll see Pickens plan twitter and above you'll see find members near you.
