Okay, no. The price a consumer can purchase natural gas at is sickening. New York it has recently dropped from $1.25 to $1.20 per cubic foot (cf). Ten years back it was about $1.12 per THOUSAND cubic feet (Mcf). In early 2005 it was $10.73/MCF, by late 2005 it was $18.06/Mcf. Speculators are boning the public in a way that even the Romans didn't dare to. Here is the big rub, they can't claim the price of supply went up like the big-oil liars because the well head price of NG hasn't gone up.

Okay so a big part of the plan is to have us drive cars with Natural Gas, but I pay $1.20 per cubic foot today, and you need to compress 123 cubic feet to equal one gallon of liquid regular gasoline. Why does T.Boone think I should pay $147.60 per gallon for automotive fuel? Thanks for the wind power, but what's your angle on the Natural Gas? You corner the market on it? Friends with energy speculators?

Mr. Pickens,

Maybe you should power the Oklahoma State Cowboy's football stadium with wind power. Straegically place Turbines down on the field for 75 yard passes on 1st Downs. 70 Yard Punts and 80 Yard Field Goals. The Energy benefit would be secondary! As a long time Sonner fan,..I respectfully request that if you decide to convert Pickens Stadium to wind power,(under my plan)...that the Turbines be turned off when OSU hosts the Sooners:) Joe.

Why don't you tell us precisely how much we need to raise/invest?

It's about time people started taking action. I am so sick and tired of arguing with the drill now people- they can't see that it is NOT a solution. Good to see Al Gore coming out yesterday with a similar proposal. Maybe we won't have to argue with the drill, drill crowd, maybe, just maybe we can drown them out instead. We can't choose the times we'll see, we can only choose what we'll DO with the time we're given. Tough times, tough choices- let's get busy!
