Energy dependence on Persian Gulf countries is America's foremost National Security problem. We are financing our own demise by sending billions of dollars to the people who want to kill us. Radical madrassas that turn kids into homicidal zombies are financed by oil revenues. Radical mosques that preach hate, right here in America, are financed by oil revenues. The old slogan "Live Free or Die" might as well be replaced by "Energy Independence or Death". Support Pickens Plan! Bankrupt Terror!

Okay, no. The price a consumer can purchase natural gas at is sickening. New York it has recently dropped from $1.25 to $1.20 per cubic foot (cf). Ten years back it was about $1.12 per THOUSAND cubic feet (Mcf). In early 2005 it was $10.73/MCF, by late 2005 it was $18.06/Mcf. Speculators are boning the public in a way that even the Romans didn't dare to. Here is the big rub, they can't claim the price of supply went up like the big-oil liars because the well head price of NG hasn't gone up.

Okay so a big part of the plan is to have us drive cars with Natural Gas, but I pay $1.20 per cubic foot today, and you need to compress 123 cubic feet to equal one gallon of liquid regular gasoline. Why does T.Boone think I should pay $147.60 per gallon for automotive fuel? Thanks for the wind power, but what's your angle on the Natural Gas? You corner the market on it? Friends with energy speculators?

Mr. Pickens,
Maybe you should power the Oklahoma State Cowboy's football stadium with wind power. Straegically place Turbines down on the field for 75 yard passes on 1st Downs. 70 Yard Punts and 80 Yard Field Goals. The Energy benefit would be secondary! As a long time Sonner fan,..I respectfully request that if you decide to convert Pickens Stadium to wind power,(under my plan)...that the Turbines be turned off when OSU hosts the Sooners:)
Joe.

"At current oil prices, we will send $700 billion dollars out of the country this year alone . . . Projected over the next 10 years the cost will be $10 trillion — it will be the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind." - T Boone Pickens
