How Natural Gas Can Save the U.S. Economy

Reading this insightful article and the many thoughtful comments about an issue that could make a reak difference to our energy problems makes me sad that we are shackled with such self centered (get me reelected) professional politicians that think only of what plays to the sound bite media instead of making sound decisions about what's best for America.

Another 1,000 Word Picture About Oil

The oil companies are the biggest contributor to the Feds coffers (income tax and excise taxes). The more money they make, the smaller our growing deficit becomes. Why bash the oil companies for trying to make all they can?

Thank God much of their assets are international so our professional politicians can't nationalize them for the cash flow.

America Needs a Natural Gas Transportation Infrastructure

I couldn't have said it any better. Can anyone give one reason to be optimistic about our future based on what the professional politicians are doing to us (unless you are on the receiving end of all the entitlements)?

The Case for Natural Gas

RE: The 200 day moving average chart: UNG is still considerably below its 50-day moving average and dropping further, so it would appear to be a little early to think about getting on its bandwagon, especially with demand still being down in the forseeable future.

I agree though that natural gas is the quickest, cheapest way to independence from foreign oil. Its price drop has even put Boone Pickens plan (a good one) on hold.

Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate

CNG is a good solution to a portion of the problem- clean burning, relatively inexpensive, and US- and Canadian-owned and produced. The infrastructure is mostly in place to transport it wherever its needs to go. The professional politicians don't like the idea, though, because the "big bad oil companies" would profit further from its use, and it doesn't fit well with all the global warming trendies that have Obama's ear.
