T. Boone Pickens: Energy Security Plan

[nietzschevsgod]

Did Boone even try and explain Peak Oil to these fucking morons?

[aodscarecrow]

T Boone Pickens is a vacuous idiot.

[mtimilty]

Susan Collins is so dumb. Offshore like the Great Lakes??

[skazhiprivet]

Politicians are paid handsomely to lead the country.

Here we see a private citizen spending his own time and money to explain to politicians what is going on!

See the problem?

Now compare that with China...

[skatingishealthy]

thats my moms boss.

[HazelJHill]

It important to address this problem and Natural Gas is clean and emission free unlike oil. Not only that demand for power will out strip the supply and we need to address this now, not tomorrow. Action speaks louder then words, pass this natural gas plan, you will not regret it, the enviroment will benefit.

[louielamson2000]

The pace of battle is picking up!

Next Wednesday, April 14, 2010. T. Boone Pickens will be testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee on the need for Congress to pass the NAT GAS Act (H.R. 1835). Americans people need to support him to get our country off OPEC oil, create new American jobs and keep the billions of dollars we send overseas working for our economy...

[tboone83]

im this guy's biggest fan and im mexican

[lpluver4life]

my dad is the senior vice president of clean energy fuels

[louielamson2000]

American Energy Independence can save the World..America, Dont Go Back to Sleep...

Will American people continue dependence on foreign oil? If so, I believe American Energy Downturn will be not fixing. Without Energy Independence, Americans will not have future economy goals. Neither for short term or long term. Will Americans people, Congress, and new President-Elect work with T Boone Pickens Plan to fix this problem?

[jpd1235]

I would like to point out."Get the north east off imported oil, use natural gas." In the north east, thats foreign too, they buy it from us..... Canada.

[notsolaxboy132]

Although you're right, we currently do get a lot of our natural gas from Canada, the plan is to start utilizing our American natural gas resources. America has the most natural gas of any country in the world, but we are a foreign oil consuming country. Mr. Pickens is begging America start waning ourselves off of foreign oil and to start using American resources. Natural gas is just the beginning. It is a bridge fuel to other renewable resources like wind and solar. His plan is well thought out

[jpd1235]

I do not believe there is as much natural gas as the 'experts' do. To many inferred, or yet to be discovered resources, don't bet on it.

[notsolaxboy132]

Well jpd1235, i get my information from real resources. Mr. Pickens is a life time oil man, do you think he doesn't double check his sources before he talks will congressmen, senators, and the American people? Your "hunch" that we don't have as much natural gas as the experts believe we do is wrong. Natural gas is abundant, its cheap, its clean, and its ours. We have the most natural gas of any country in the world. Do a little research.

[jpd1235]

The electric economy is a myth. Its not gonna happen. What needs to be done is a major reorganization of the way we deploy ourselves in the landscape so that we dont need to travel as much. And so we can grow some of our own food.

We are not going to magically run everything we're running, the way we're running it now, on some other fuel source. Its not gonna happen.

We need to downscale everything we do, to our new energy diet.

Technology can't create energy from nothing.

[louielamson2000]

Wake up America! The American people need to wake up! In the last 30 years the American people had chose and bought things that were made in ChinaThis is what the Americans people chose! You had bought things! You had falling! You had hiding! You had unseen! You had broken! You had sold out! You had burnt! You had dug deep! You had been sunk! You had lost! Thats why you have a JOBLESS IN AMERICA TODAY. There will be many consequences for your childrens lives for years to come.

[louielamson2000]

Who are you blaming?

Unites States Congress?

President? Unites States Supreme Court? Or yourself?

Yes. For nearly forty American People chose and bought things made in China, Japan, and Korea...You bought cheap oil from foreign countries, and now look at GM-Ford-Chrysler?

Wake up America!!! Buy made in America-American Energy, Independence-Green Energy from America, Wind Energy from America, Sunlight-Solar Energy from America. Waked up and America, and thinks about your actions to come!!

[AnimeFreeMan]

The Zap root channel brings up an interesting point to why T boon is doing this.

[proverb311031]

America has become the can not do anything but stop progress county of the world, this is why our economy is falling apart! The repubulicans do not want to do anything that helps our country, and the Democrates spend to much time over helping people!

[sleeplessmind]

fuck you pickens. you're just confusing the majority. doing the right thing for wrong reasons - until oil price drops and then scale back your wind-farm plan.

oh, that's right. you already did

[bollyking2000]

regardless if you think he's right or wrong, he's probably going to end up doing more good than just ranting on youtube comments pages

[dave777blaster]

HE told them You aint gona get my NAtural gas cheap

[monkeypeopleofearth]

T Boone Pickens is NOT an elected representative. He is one of the wealthist oil men in America. He uses his wealth to affect politics in America. He BUYS political favors. He is NOT a hero. He is a TRAITOR to America. He is nothing more than a rich guy who uses his personal fortune to change American's voters. MONEY=POWER.

[Nightversionn]

not a fan of Pickins. He realizes the oil boat is sinking so he wants to sell his natural gas. He co-opts the message of the authentic environmentalist movement.

What we need to be doing is transitioning straight to electric in terms of cars, it will be challenging enough, why the unnecessary step of going to nat. gas.

We need to focus on clean renewables such as solar and wind, and the like

Pickin's oil has also gotten us closer to climate disaster, now he wants to change, yeah right

[josetjack]

Mainly what he is taking about is using natural gas for large truck. Also he slant is financial ramifications of importing oil and yours seems to be environmental. Both are good motives.

[gwydion75]

Your electric fantasy can't power busses, semi-trucks, trains... and you may want to review Gore's chart as to how much more pollution those vehicles make than our personal transportation. Buy your electric car! Those are available and getting better! But it's just not enough to change the way we operate.

[Nightversionn]

I'd have to check but hasn't Japan had a high speed bullet train that runs on electricity for decades, and Taiwan just got one.

Now I'm not sure how they power it, but I believe it's electric.

We do need a mix of solutions, but I believe we need to be going in the direction of electric, and innovations will follow rapidly

[gwydion75]

You're right! They carry people.

I guess you suppose we should carry our2,000,000 tons of train freight each year by the same method...

Trains account for 41% of our freight-miles in this country. Trucks, only 30%.

Carrying people around is important, but that's simply not what he's talking about. He makes it clear in this vid and others.

[Willemvanderdecken]

Every train runs on electricity!! except the ones in third world countrys.

[jmagic32971]

hold up he said in this very first running ad ad that we cant dril our way out of debt,sounding like a democrat that was saying the same thing ..um yes we can if we drill now process our own fuel from anwar and the pipes we have capped up we can drill our way out of a crappy situation and have other nations buy oil from us than from them

[samuel200182]

Also, China and India cant afford to buy alternative energy if we want these technology to make jobs here. To have both is very difficult, but should be looked seriously.

[samuel200182]

Pickens is very difficult to size, he knows all the alternative energy products are at shortage for some years, he is buying large lands to sell water...is he into something? Or as a cover to spy on capitalist who are worsening the situation by looking adept to free-reign capitalism? Is he just paid by the bilderberg to bring speculators into understanding that the situation is serious and should not be used for selfish needs?

[dugfriendly]

Senator Lieberman opens with the hard-hitting question of the billionaire capitalist: What kind of tax money may we stop collecting from you? Sweet.

[GlenH2008]

Beware PacWind. I paid them in full, over $8,000, for a turbine system nearly a year ago. They have lied to me at least 10 times about a due date and now will not even return my phone calls. I filed complaints with the California BBB and Attorney General's office and to date they have not responded to the agency inquiries. It looks like these scam artist have cheated me out of over $8,000. Do not let this happen to you. Don't say you haven't been warned.

[geodepe]

How about giving tax incentives and relaxed regulations that allow the average Joe to install a wind turbine on his own suburban roof?

[cwoodups]

Or Reliable solar panel companies?

[BMWpower335i]

hes 80 years old and has money beyond what is necessary. this guy actually wants to help us, and yet you cuss him out. What the fuck is wrong with you people???

[mikewade32]

Your a jackass T. Boone. Go to hell with your bullshit plan.

[bludrums]

And hemp can solve over 80% of the problems we have.I've been trying to get interested investors to help develope a new compressed beam that is stronger then steel and doesn't use wood and last a very long time. There are over 25,000 practical uses for hemp but not our government they are bent on our destruction!

[AStateofAffairs]

smart man....which means,,,no-one will listen to him.

[kwestyunz]

That's the Swift-boat Douchebag!

[cwoodups]

That he is. don't think he was real happy about that after the fact .

[oldhacks]

americans are just gonna sit and watch the super wealthy rake in all the money while they privately fund natural progress. instead of just paying a carbon tax and then we could use the profits from the super trains to fund social security and medicare. but instead the profits are gonna go right into pickens pocket. wheres Mike Gravel? he explained that the congress isn't going to let us all profit from it they're just gonna keep it in the family.

[happosai21]

how about allowing the water engine that runs on water? that could be pretty useful right? but big oil dont wants that technology to come out cus they would lose the electricty market and fuel industry cus nobody would buy oil or electricity if you can make it yourself in your basement with a water powered generator. look up "water car" and you see what i mean

[mortysand]

A "water car"?

[happosai21]

go look it up ^^

[bludrums]

And America sits on 400 years of oil. And you would not believe how much natural gas they pump back into the ground.43 jet engines pump millions of gallons of NG back into the ground every day!But we can't sell fiat money to ourselfs.Somebody else has to buy it then it goes into circulation and then the real scam begins!

[rodowers]

I have family who work for BP (british petroleum) and Murphy oil respectively. You sir have just hit the nail on the head. Fuel is expensive only because the dollar isn't worth crap. How many people here in the US have gone to Europe here lately and recieved sticker shock? Peak oil is a scam!

[bludrums]

Whats become really interesting is that Fed chairman Bernanke admitted inflation is a tax.We are being taxed by others then our government! Hmmm something really wrong here.Taxed by the government,taxed to use our own money,and now inflation is another tax because the rich are not rich enough! Ain't that a bitch-Johnny guitar Watson!

[rodowers]

That's why I'm part of the Campaign for Liberty.

[cwoodups]

It's a combination of several things! Peak oil is for real , Just got back from the Netherlands. American's just don't think right, or did you forget the low flow toilets. Did you see fat walmart sheeple in Europe I think not. Reduce Reuse Recycle.
