Pickens Plan Still Kickin’ – Newsweek – 8/5/09
By Matthew Philips

Natural Gas Vehicles Get No Respect – Reuters – 6/26/09
By John Gartner
Natural gas is the Rodney Dangerfield of transportation fuels. It's cheap. It's clean. But consumers don't have much of a chance to use it it because there's only model of natural gas car for sale.
Billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens has been beating the drum the loudest lately about the merits of natural gas as a clean(er) fuel that can also make the U.S. more energy independent. His argument was bolstered this…

Boone is lucky to have such a strong team of local supporters in congressional districts across the country. But we are not done yet...the fight for energy independence has only just begun. And we need to use the support we generated around the Virtual March and leverage it for action in Congress.

Take a look. Here is a story featuring one of CA-51's own. John Freeman is with Knight & Carver of San Diego, a manufacturer of wind turbine blades. Knight & Carver has grown from 50 to 250 employees after starting wind turbine production 18 months ago. This is what the Pickens Plan is all about!
