John, I am more hopeful after reading this in the early a.m. sitting up with a sick one. I suppose we all are concerned in our own way. We do need to be more assertive and strive to improve the natural gas situation. The abundance, as we know, (Law of Supply and Demand) will keep the price down and keep drilling down. Eventually, they will have to start shutting in wells and stacking rigs. We have to have the DEMAND to use the gas. I know there are many smart ones among us and we need to…

I know there are many smart ones among us and we need to organize, and strive to pressure the legislators, congessman, reps of all sorts and acquire the support of the public in making America independent and proud again. WE COULD PROVIDE JOBS, CLEAN ENVIRONMENT, HAVE MORE AND PAY MORE TAXES, AND KEEP THE TAX MONEY IN OUR STATES FOR EDUCATION, WELFARE, CHURCHES, CHARITY. I DO NOT WANT THEM TO MAKE THIS GREAT NATION A POOR ONE. TOO MANY HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, HANDICAPPED AND DIED FOR OUR FREEDOM. I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO STRIVE TO IMPROVE IT TOO!!!

Hey Big Iron, you are so correct -- propaganda is in so much of our daily lives and work! I think I majored and specialized in JERKS ! I am so glad when I see people read and analyze, etc. So many just read and believe--not using any prudence. (I have taught reading to adults.) Half truths and half lies is the propaganda technique called Card Stacking. Indeed, there is a lot of envy and and jealousy which I think is one of the worst characteristics one can have.

Yes, Americans are becoming sheep and just following. We need to "stand up and be counted"; if people were deprived of natural gas for awhile or the price very high, they would take notice. Also, natural gas generators, etc. should be made cheaper and used more often. If the price were right, more would be in homes,for emergencies etc. We should form an organization I think, and work with TBP and push for reasons for natural gas use---economy, national security, jobs, independence for our…

WE NEED TO HELP OURSELVES BE MORE AMBITIOUS FOR US AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. YES, WE CAN DEVELOP OTHER TYPE S OF ENERGY, BUT NOW WE NEED OUR OWN AND GAS IS WHAT WE HAVE.<br />
Our health, national security, economic well-being (would have the tax base for jobs, state and local govts. education, health care, welfare, etc.). We need not be passive as there is POWER in numbers and we can be assertive and even aggressive. God gave blessings in the form of natural resources and the use is up to us. ANY COMMENTS?

This is the kind of information that needs more promoting. My hat is off to the Sierra Club for taking what I would bet is an unpopular sentiment amoung their peers. It goes further to disclose that the administration's position on ignoring NG is purely political and not scientific. It goes further to show the incredible power that the unions have on our leaders. The coal unions are huge Democrat supporters. I am more hopeful after reading your post. Thanks.

One of the biggest complaints I have about Mr. Picken's public campaign on behalf of NG is that I never see numbers that I would consider critical for a reasonable evaluation of his proposals. For instance - repeated over and over (including on his website) is the recalibration of reserve calculations to "over 100 years worth of natural gas", but I believe that is based solely on current usage levels and historically based usage increase projections.

One of the biggest complaints I have about Mr. Picken's public campaign on behalf of NG is that I never see numbers that I would consider critical for a reasonable evaluation of his proposals. For instance - repeated over and over (including on his website) is the recalibration of reserve calculations to "over 100 years worth of natural gas", but I believe that is based solely on current usage levels and historically based usage increase projections. If anyone is going to propose dramatically increasing the use of natural gas, shouldn't they also recalculate what our reserves will be based on such an increase. Why can't they do an equivalent BTU calculation for the fuels they propose to replace so we can see how fast changes would necessarily use up natural gas reserves? I have seen some calculations by smart people that make the new natural gas reserves look less positive in this regard (I am not talking about Berman, he does not qualify as "smart" in my book). I really would like to see more analysis along those lines.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, I think it is inaccurate to label "environmentalists" as all opposed to increased natural gas usage. I believe that there is significant support for natural gas as a bridge fuel for reducing carbon dioxide production and fossil fuel pollution in the near term. Even the Sierra Club came out in favor of more domestic natural gas production and use this spring.<br />

<br />
Even on a conservative blog (where you'd think they'd celebrate entreprenuerial success), there are many people who attack the plan and Boone. They "say" it's because Boone want's tax dollar assistance. No amount of logical explanation about "pay go" or "net tax dollar neutral" gets through after that.<br />
<br />
Conservatives are fighting their basic instincts to hate Boone. Imagine how easy it is for liberals to hate him (even though his green message is designed specifically for them).<br />
<br />
It is my opinion that it is class envy (not political flavor), that elicits that response.<br />
<br />
When you bring the subject of Boone up in conversation, you get one of two responses:<br />
1. they respect and admire him.<br />
2, they think he's out to fleese the public to line his own pocket.<br />
<br />
If one takes the time to read up on Boone, the vast majority of folks would choose response 1.<br />
<br />
How many people take the time to do anything like read or study today?<br />
<br />
Heres an example. This guy is an investor blog (not the blog I referred to above). Most of the time they lean conservative. But he posts this BS, coats it with "I respect Boone", but continues to lambast him with half truths and FALSE scare tactics. <a href="http://pointsandfigures.com/?p=2607" target="_blank">http://pointsandfigures.com/?p=2607</a><br />
<br />
It is my opinion that folks like this are, at the base... tainted with class envy. Could be wrong, but I don't think I am.<br />
<br />
That's why I think in order to be successful, the cause needs a different face. And I'm a BIG Boone fan. Big Iron,

I'm curious...and interested in your comment regarding class envy. Would you elaborate on that concept..., such as who (political ? general ?) would be among those that envy?<br />
I've been trying to understand what causes people to turn their brains off the very instant the topic of natural gas is entered into a discussion.

Boone would be well advised to have other people do his campaigning for him. He needs to be a DISTANT partner in the effort to push for nat gas as a vehicular fuel. He can fund the campaign, but if he's the face of it.... it fails every time.<br />
<br />
What Boone doesn't understand is the potency of class envy to quash even the most logical of solutions to our national energy dependence on foreign supplies.<br />
<br />
Silly Boone. He's so smart in some arena's, yet so dumb in others.

I don't know Ray. I am far from an expert but it seems there are a lot of contradictions out there. The "environmentalist" want less greenhouse gas but are opposed to natural gas because we have to drill. We would also have to drill to deposit enormous amounts of carbon dioxide from coal powered electrical plants.

Liberals want to end tampering in foreign affairs when we are totally dependent on the foreiners for our transportation needs. I agree we would be less informed ( I had never heard of the Barnett Shale), but if the "experts" are correct about the amount of natural gas in all the new plays, we are crazy if we don't start migrating to natural gas. Wind and solar are great ideas. But, even if the technology develops (breakthrough developements) you still need natural gas on windless nights. As with all issues politics trumps common sense. We need more common sense in this country. So far I have not heard of a good reason not to use OUR resources. I fear that our whole area will look like a giant compressor station before this is over but I don't mind if we stop buying islands for people who want us dead.

We can only hope that the politicians will see TBP's positiont that NG is at worst the fuel to buy time for wind mill and solar energy to drive the electrical grid. The politicians evidently are not getting enough of our (NG) money. Sad state.
