Natural Gas, An Alternative to Oil, Wake Up People

Let me offer this as an alternative fuel source, Natural
Gas! They are now aggressively drilling the Barnett
Shale under Tarrant County Texas, namely Fort Worth.

This field is 500,000 acres in size, and comprised of
Denton, Wise and Tarrant County’s in Texas, and it is
expected to surpass the Hugoton Field and become the
largest Natural Gas Field in the United States.

They have drilled 2040 wells which are in play, and
have just finished their 293rd horizontal well, and
currently have 18 rigs running, 15 of those being
horizontals.

Natural Gas is ours, and it burns cleaner offering
lower emissions for the environmentalists without
any harm to specific species of animals. It is also
cheaper than Gasoline, and more efficient.

There are Schools systems here in Texas that have
switched to Natural Gas fired vehicles to relieve
them of the costs of Gasoline in operation. The Public
Transit system in Fort Worth has gone to Natural Gas
fired vehicles for the same reason. A lot of the municipal
governments are ordering and buying Natural Gas Fired
vehicles to reduce costs. There are also Automobile
manufacturers who make and sell Natural Gas fired
vehicles such as Pick Up Trucks and Cars but not with
enthusiasm. So this is not a foreign concept to Detroit.

The Heck with OPEC, Natural Gas is a resource which can
be put into place in short time.

If the Oil Companies don’t get on board that’s their short
coming, the Local Utility companies (Gas) can build and
provide Filling Centers and/or Stations for the consumer.
And, those stations can be manned by the utility company's
employee’s to eliminate any supposed danger to the
consumer.

In addition, this is a resource which can be used in other
industries. It’s here, It’s Ours, and we have Plenty Of It.

If we continue on the path we are on, in 10 years we’re
going to be in deep doo doo to put it mildly.

So with my offering we have an alternative to petroleum.
It’s about time we as citizens of the United States stood
up for ourselves, and made the necessary changes to avoid
this.
