A Natural Gas Centric Strategic Long-Term Comprehensive Energy Policy

Glad that someone else sees what is actually happening here.
Pickens is simply supporting switching to NG in order to drive up the value of his wind assets/plans (by increasing the price of electricity) When the price of NG turns it will make oils' run-ups look tame.

Sorry Greens, Fossil Fuels Are Here to Stay

When the grid is attacked and is put out of commission for 6-12 months (this will happen--only a question of time), you will see lines at the solar installers office...NOT the gas station. Make no mistake, the U.S. grid can be compromised by a crew the size of those who took part in 9-11.
