Well, you can wait till we go off a cliff. T. Boone says if we do nothing oil will be $300/bbl in ten years guaranteed. The middle east and china will own us by then. Of course they will have converted to nuclear and whatever while the bozos in Congress say wha' happened?

NG and drilling are just the bridge to get us there with less pain.

Gas and Diesel will still be expensive in the future. But will still be necessary for heavy transportation. Electric isn't good there. Switching to NG will help.
Boone has purchased 667 wind turbines from GE...an American company. Whadda ya know. All this provides american jobs. Transmission lines etc.

A 100 megawatt wind farm is planned. More will follow. That's the power of 2.5 nuke plants.

Some areas of the country are more suited for nuke plants and or solar.

If you can find his plan you'll see a map of the wind corridor that runs up through the middle of the country. In Texas it's where the tumbleweeds blow.

The a-holes in washington need to quit jawboning. The time to act is now.
