I believe in the Picken Plan and moving forward with more wind and solar for electricity. I do, however, think more nuclear should be used to free up natural gas for auto use.<BR/>I firmly believe that CNG for large vehicles, replacing deisel in buses and big rigs, is a viable solution. I think it would take a major carrier such as Central or Yellow to shift the thought on transport carriers, but it should be done. Perhaps an intermodal carrier can make more headway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422135586590402834.post-31523261388449695342008-10-08T15:41:00.000-07:002008-10-08T15:41:00.000-07:00T-Boone is spending an awful lot of petrodollars p...T-Boone is spending an awful lot of petrodollars promoting wind energy and natural gas. He's a little too windy for my taste, but Drill Baby Drill won't solve our energy problems. Unless you include coal, we just don't have enough hydrocarbons in the USA to be self sufficient. We Americans need to go on an energy diet. You don't see Europeans or Japanese driving around in gas-guzzling SUVs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422135586590402834.post-9107263475463751172008-10-08T12:56:00.000-07:002008-10-08T12:56:00.000-07:00I lived out in the area that Boone is building the...I lived out in the area that Boone is building the farm and quite frankly I don't remember that darned wind EVER dying down....but I do wonder about the transmission lines etc....and now that the whole economy seems to have gone into the toilet who knows when this will all get going? <BR/>Let's get some strong leaders and ideas in Washington....PLEASEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
