It's easy for me to be supportive of T-Boone... After all I sure would like to see him give another $350 million to Okie State. I also, believe we are not managing our natural resources with a long term plan.

During my recent visit to India, it seemed like a majority of the Tata trucks that were powered by CNG.. at least that was what was marked on the bumpers. Why? India has a large domestic supply of natural gas. I know the Anadarko basin in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Kansas has a huge supply of natural gas. Though keep in mind T-Boone has invested in the oil & gas industry for many years. In addition, Canada has a large supply of natural gas available. I recall many years ago, finding CNG at the pump in Tulsa, Okla and I recall UPS making a big deal of running there step vans off of natural gas in Tulsa. I assume that is still occurring today.. In addition, Cummins has CNG systems for engines that have been sold for many years with a special development group in Canada. I truly believe the recent events will drive us towards alternative fuels of many types. These are challenging times for all of us.. But I suspect America will rise and lead the way again to provide solutions.

We are still a country of great thinkers. I have had the pleasure of working with engineers from India & China.... Though we compete head to head towards a common goal.. America still leads the way with creative minds.

Funny thing about T-Boone's wind mills... I saw similar wind mills in India on tops of mesa type hills and at the bottom of the hills in the flat land was wheat that was being harvested with sickles!

There is an interesting global complexity to the problem...we are competing in a world economy…..for the same natural resources. Here’s a thought to ponder.... say we find a suitable alternative fuel that costs ... $3.50 per gallon equivalency to gasoline. We invest in that alternative fuel.. The US becomes independent of foreign oil supply... but the price of gasoline in China & India falls to $2.50 (non subsidized number)... Who wins? US because we became independent to foreign oil? Or the rest of the world we compete with because they are able to operate their country on a lower cost fuel.. Then what? I think we need a long term strategy to keep us 1 step ahead of the rest of the world. Many wars have been fought over land and resources..
