American energy sources = American jobs = American Prosperity

That is the simple truth...

I think that it would be nice if we all had a visual aid to show to people when we try to educate them about the potential of natural gas as a cleaner, abundant, domestic energy source and one which can serve as a bridge to a green energy economy.

I found a documentary film, just released a short time ago, that does all these things. It profiles the lives of people in the Haynesville Louisiana area after the find of massive gas deposits there. It also uses a group of experts in the areas of energy and the environment to flesh out all of the things that we have been saying about natural gas. Many of the comments sound like things Boone has been saying since last year...

I am thinking that Army members could use the film to hold screenings for their friends/family/governement representatives/community, etc. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and so a film must be worth a million, lol

Many Army members have told me that they don't know what to say to people or things of that nature and a film like this does the talking for you. At the moment I am working to bring the film to Plan members but I thought I would put this up so you can go have a look at the film website and trailer at least.

Desiree,

I don't understand your lack of willingness to look at the obvious fix to our problem. Wind and CNG are part of the solution, but we need to drill for our own natural resources as a matter of national security. Every time this is proposed we hear it will take ten years, well if it was done during the Clinton administration we would be on our way to self reliance today, and if it was done during the Bush administration we would be a couple of years from the solution, but the eco freaks and the Democrats that are beholding to them have prevented us from our solution to the problem.

Obama is a huge part of the problem and is totally inept as a leader. According to Einstein he is insane because he wants to try things that have failed every time they have been tried and they have failed, but he expects a different result (national health care, raising taxes in a time of recession, etc.). He is on the way to be the biggest failure as comander in chief in our history, he is already proven he is worse than Carter.

Get on the right track, drill here drill now, and realize that every time an environmentalist speaks they have been wrong with every prediction they have ever made.

This was sent to me by Kenneth Prendergast, Executive Director of All Aboard Ohio!

As we ponder the removal of urban rail transit systems that anchored walkable neighborhoods, the abandonment and destruction of many U.S. cities over the past 50 years, the isolation of the urban poor, the nation's immobilized elderly population, the creation of sprawling car-dependent suburbia where transit cannot effectively serve or survive, our depletion of our once-world leading domestic oil reserves and thus ever-worsening dependence on imported oil, as well as dangerously high carbon emissions, consider these issues in the context of the eye-opening Harper's article by Jonathan Kwitney from February, 1981, "The Great Transportation Conspiracy."

The article, scanned column by column, was uploaded to a friend's web site as a series of JPGs displayed by an html file. A text search won't stumble across it; one has to know where to look. Well here it is:

From time to time, interviews and articles surface where some current or retired transit official claims it never happened. That's not too surprising, considering that when Kwitney researched his article he found "no more than three" such people who claimed to have any knowledge of the events. Probably a lot of former execs and employees from that era had already died off, and I speculate that some who denied any knowledge were trying to conceal their own complicity.

Kwitney presents such a thoroughly-researched, detailed narrative that it's pretty hard to believe the claims of those who deny it ever happened.
