Then voters and consumers get to choose. While you have made a strong vote against the transition to Natgas for transportation being supported by the Natgas Act I haven't heard if you advocate an alternative plan or if you support the status quo. We both agree the correct course is to let the market decide. Mr. Pickens is simply doing his best job to influence the market. As are you.

Boone Pickens has is to help this country get off of foreign oil. Why can't liberals see this? I guess it's because selfishness is blinding. Here's a fact that might help you to see: H.R. 1380 & S.1863 are intended to (at first) get big rig trucks off diesel and on to LNG. Just the savings from "not buying" OPEC oil to run these trucks is close to a $trillion a year. wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaakkkkkkkeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nat gas act is great for our economy and for our environment, and it doesn't matter who is lobbying for it. In most cases, the rich are the ones who create lots of jobs that help poor people move into the middle class. Are those who are against everything that Pickens does just envious that he has billions. The American way is to look for opportunities, and a great opportunity would be to buy nat gas companies like wprt, clne, cmi, fsys. -- instead of complaining about everything.

I didn't support Sen. Craig, as I don't support either party. I love guns, but I don't have any, and I haven't fired one since camp. I hate Gingrich. I like family values. I am radically pro gay. I criticize Obama, for supporting the Billionaire's Bailout. I am “for” abortion, in that I’m pro-choice. I didn’t support Sen. Craig, as I don’t support either party.

The ultra conservative dumbass Republicans are the party of the rich so how can they criticize Pickens? You are against abortion but support handguns, you are anti-gay but supported Senator Craig, you are for family values but support Gingrich, you criticize President Obama on jobs but you won't allow a vote on the Nat. Gas Act which would not only create multiple high-paying jobs but also foster a renewed spirit of optimism in OUR country. I agree 100% with Mr. Yarber.

Boone is the most vocal and visible promoter. Because crude is fungible and NG is land locked, the current relative value of NG is significantly below the 6:1 BTU ratio between crude ($100/barrel) and NG ($2.50/1,000 cubic feet). Our transportaion fleet, primarily the long haul truckers, comsumes 40%+ of the crude oil our country consumes, or nearly 80% of the crude oil we import every year. Running our transportation fleet on primarily NG will significantly benefit the US economy: reduce our energy costs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create domestic, high paying jobs - all of which our country desparately needs. So tell me, why are you so dumb you can't see the benefits of domesticly produced NG over foreign oil?Bill Yarber I’m not sure what you have against switching our transportation fleet to natural gas (NG) other than T.
