Sure the pickens natural gas plan would be short term solution, but why invest billions of dollars on the dimes of the CA tax payer when we can invest in distributed generation and cars that plug into the grid, v2g technology, distributed power for the people!</p> Iran is changing their cars to natural gas because they hold so much of the natural gas reserves, they can if they want to. the USA on the other hand does not have the natural gas resources domestically.

If I were 53 years old, my gas purchases would be less than one tenth my health care costs. This in spite of a 3 fold increase in gas prices. T Boones ads are so alarmist when you consider the issue pales in comparison to health care. "Oil prices are a threat to our way of Life, " what a hilarious comment in a country where over 100 million people that work full time can't even afford health care and won't really have a life if they have some medical problem. What hurts is we are changing from a country of citizens to a nation of Royalty and Privelege with so many second class citizens being left behind. That's Not American.</p> My energy costs are less than one quarter my monthly health care costs and I’m only 33.

By the same token, they should get rid of all the Clean Coal ads. And the automakers' hydrogen car ads. Or all of the Republican and Democratic campaign ads, for that matter. Since when did any network care about TRUTH in advertising???? Doesn't Mr. Zucker watch Mad Men?</p> Ridiculous. By the same token, they should get rid of all the Clean Coal ads.

Pickens has one thing right: WIND

….though small-scale, distributed wind energy is more efficient, resilient and equitable.
