Boone Pickens is a hero. He is in the process of saving our economy at a crucial, crucial time. If you think he’s doing it for the money; you are a fool. Nat gas is here to stay with or without federal legislation. Fracking is safe, & OPEC is screwed. How can anyone not see the miracle of this natural gift of gas? Beats me.

The fact that Pickens will benefit from the NAT GAS Act does not make it a bad thing for America. The fact is that without this bill, the status quo will not change significantly enough to actually reduce our reliance on foreign oil. Without the NAT GAS Act, the oil majors, along with the refinery interests (who refine primarily imported oil), will continue to keep us dependent on imported petroleum. Everyone should note that the Senate version of the NAT GAS Act is REVENUE NEUTRAL, requiring a payback of all tax credits through a small tax added to sales of natural gas for vehicles. So, the people who use natural gas to fuel their vehicles will actually PAY BACK the tax credits received through the legislation. The “boondoggle” that everyone keeps talking about is nonexistent. This is good legislation for our country.

Forget about Pickens! He’s already a billionaire! If the Act passes for fleet and heavy duty vehicles, he’ll benefit, as well as if it passes for ordinary passenger vehicles. So, why not allow the ordinary Americans to get in on the benefits and vastly improve our transportation sector, security and all! Pass the NAT GAS Act for maximum benefit to ordinary Americans, NOT FOR CORPORATIONS!!!!!
