Mr. Pickens is smart enough to know that drawing lines in the sand can be counter productive when it's uncertain who he will be dealing with..

I know... you're right.  It's just awful frustrating and his group has spent tens of millions.

it's hard to tell what anyone is doing... that is coordinated and effective.  Seems like a lot of money is being spent and politicians ignoring the problem.

Give Mad Money credit for being loyal. It is being talked about more and very slowly starting to move. The Coal and Ethanol supporters will not go quietly. Australia has lots of N/G vehicles.

Watching that leave the thought, "What in the world are our leaders thinking?"

Like their brains have frozen or something...

I mean why aren't they getting it???

GHS is an echo chamber.  We are a minority.  Everywhere I go, sooner or later, the Haynesville Shale comes up because of my business.  Go to Dallas and ask how many people have heard of the HS.  If the individual is not in the energy business, you get a blank look and an admission that they have never heard of it.  I was in Slidell last weekend.  I asked probably a half dozen people from the Greater New Orleans area.  Only a few had vague recollections of hearing something about it and none were aware of it's energy potential.  What does this tell us?  IMO, the energy industry has done and is still doing a less than exemplary job of getting the word out.  How many average Americans watch CNBC?

Couldn't have put it any better.  And it's a shame... but understandable.

How many average Americans watch CNBC? One Nielsen report said average 310,000 daily with incomes averaging $156,000.00 annualy.

Exactly my point, ken.  310,000 votes is inconsequential.

One would think those leaders from producing states would be pushing this...At least bring it to the forefront. With rising unrest in oil producing countries and rising prices, someone would take notice...
