  • A Natural Gas Centric Strategic Long-Term Comprehensive Energy Policy  [View article]
    hi fitz
    even though i don't care for more legislation i am convinced you are a patriotic guy that wants the best for the u.s.. yeah i know i'm one of those minimal govt types.
    about a year back? rentech seemed to show some promise for much cleaner coal (diesel) fuel at about $60 a barrel. i would be interested in your thoughts on rentech. it seems in my amatuer view that this would make another good alternative if it is reasonably clean. also it seems in less need of subsidy.
    have to agree that oil production is not going to keep up if the economy starts to improve.
    do you like the idea and numbers on algae oil?
    politically i guess we both are left out and can probably agree that the "2" parties need a swift kick in the pants and the rise of a couple of more would be beneficial to our country.

  • The Current Stagnation of Natural Gas Vehicles in America [View article]

    hi my friend haven't seen you post in a while. was hoping you were doing well.
    fitz
    if we realeased our own oil production combined with canada it looks like the total would help thwart the arab profits. i have seen conflicting figures about who supplies what percentage but it seems they agree canada is our biggest supplier. the terrorist nations are still going to sell their oil on the world market. seems our best weapon would be increased domestic production. or we could start some more wars like iraq. that issue confuses me. they hate us so let's hurt their finances and oil production but the open action of bush was evil? i was against the war but i did not believe it was focused on the correct targets and i did not like risking ground troops. i prefered devastating precise blows to retaliate. however if i thought the arabs were evil then i might reconsider the bush tactics.
    cop will recover i think. whether with oil or ng. i wonder how many fleets run local and return every night like say ups? those make sense. the long haulers don't for reasons your article pointed out.
    another poster or 2 pointed out that building fueling stations seems expensive for a temporary solution. i am very glad energy got cheaper. it has been a cushion to correction/recession/d... cheap transportation is essential to the progression of civilization. i was a member of pickkens plan but to me from the inside it started to feel like political action to help an old billionaire who made some wrong bets. perhaps that oversimplifies but i don't want to waste time on that. it looks like it is passing on now anyway. i withdrew.
    i like ng if that is your choice. maybe move to a state where you can buy what you choose and even refuel.
    as a trader that much prefers investing but had to roll with the punches i still like companies that make a profit on an ever inreasing line. there has been a lot of outrage over oil profits but the percentages are not obscene. that was just political finger pointing. sometimes those rascals lie. it seems the change was the same as always only with a more blatant socialist focus. i will never understand americans that want to force their ideas about what is best on others through legislation. as my pretty half pointed out, "what happened to that admirable american attribute, live and let live?" God save the republic from "good intentions" and "lofty visionaries". it is wrong for oil as it is wrong for ng.
    what happens with taxes from here is no longer my concern as i have made sure i am protected at least for the next couple of years. i am against the bloated unconstitutional federal sow and nanny state so my marbles are out of the game.
    still waiting for fuel prices and economic crises to drive down the price on that old idiot wish of an old type muscle car.

  • Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate [View article]
    the article looks like good advice however i am really sick of hearing about mandates, tax incentives, subsidies, favors etcetera. are we free or not?
    i also am a little tired of hearing the distortion that the evil terrorist arabs are gaining. they are gaining but china, india and europe will keep buying oil. on a world market the only way we can hurt opec is to produce more of our own oil to help hold the price down. canada has been our biggest supplier of oil. canadian terrorists are not crossing our border to do harm just yet. that smells like salesmanship of an old billionaire that wants a govt. handout for his windfarms and the typical misdirection of politicians to explain the ridiculous debt of this nation. i guess i am getting a bit cynical.
    from what i can tell oil, ng, coal and nuclear are cost efficient and ng can become efficient in automobiles.
    it is what it is so thank you for the pointers on how to make money. i guess the free nation, free people, free market concept is a fantasy from the past. guess i'm getting old.
