I have news TBoone is not here at the moment. Glad you are doing well but you are totally off topic you know.

Tboone has put his saving America from foreign oil project on hold since he cannot make money anymore with the falling oil prices.

About “Pick-Your-Bones-Pickins”
I agree with your comments on T-Bone. Upon seeing his many hundreds of commercials,
I investigated his company and purchased some of his stock. The publicity he has received made one believe that it would be a good investment. Well, was I ever surprised when one Thursday a few weeks ago, I found out his wife SOLD 100,000
shares of their own stock in one day. Wow I thought to myself, it sure looks like they are bailing out of their own company. Surely not —guess everyone has the right to “cash-in” and spend it on a new car etc.. That was the Thursday before the BLACK Monday
crash fell upon us. Could it be we (investors) were dupped into buying driving up their
cash value just in time for them to cash it all in and run leaving the rest of us behind holding an empty bag? Interesting how they KNEW it was going to tank!! So much for insider
information being illegal! Guess it proves once again that the rich have no conscious
and can get away with anything. Even so, we still have the last laugh because in the end they will die just like us and they CAN’T take it with them! Yahoo.

That is not my article I did not write the articles I quoted. What I said is in black. I am sure if CNG gas was a good business decision for UPS and FedEx they would be using it. You might ask them why they are not. I would suspect it is because the availability for CNG at reasonable prices is just not there.

Nuclear will work for our electricity needs but I would not say it is our only alternative. We have been using mainly coal and we have plenty of coal and it is only unfounded global warming hysteria that prevents the building of all the coal plants we need.

The real question here is should we spend trillions on windmills to free up natural gas like Pickens wants when it will not be a very costly non solution? There are better and cheaper solutions such as electric vehicles, coal to oil conversation and domestic off shore and oil shale production.

Nobody is addressing the environmental impact of windmills. They are ugly, they kill birds, the generator hum bothers people, land value where they are near fall, huge quantities of steel and copper have to be mined to make them, and it takes a lot of energy to manufacture, transport and erect them. They also only have a twenty year lifespan.

Then when environmentalist turn against them as some already have you will not only have to pay the cost to subsidize the building of them you will also have to pay the costs of taking them down.

We need a rational approach for our dependency on foreign oil. We do not need a person who has everything to gain from windmills and natural gas to run a multimillion dollar brainwashing campaign to line the pockets of those who will stand to gain at the expense of the American people.

As always, there’re few sides to the same story and truth somewhere in the middle:

Don,
I have reed your article about natural gas. You’re absolutely right when you stated that break even point for modified vehicles should come after ~100K miles and it make CNG conversion a “bad” option for regular people, who are driving to work every day, but when you look at other car transportation, like UPS and FedEx trucks or city buses refuse howling vehicles etc., they’re driving a lot of miles every day – around 6-7 K or more a month. It means that you’re break even point should come a lot sooner then 5 years. This option is profitable for them. I do not understand UPS and FedEx. They can increase their profits by converting fleet of delivery trucks to CNG.
In regards to electricity – the only alternative we have is to increase our nuclear power capacity. Today it is a cheapest and fastest way to produce more electricity and satisfy our energy needs, save environment and bring back jobs.
Wind farms are OK, but as you said – it is very expensive and requires a long time to build sizable power.
