End our dependence on OIL !
America's independence is in jeopardy due to narrow mindedness and the status quo. If so many people weren't getting so rich on the spOILs, common sense and leadership might prevail. Billionaire T. Boone Pickens wants to make more billions, but he also wants to remove our slippery oily handcuffs with the sheiks and crown prince Arabs who control most of the oil. His Pickens Plan (http://www.pickensplan.com/theplan/) is advocating the use of windmills for electricity and CNG (Compressed natural gas) to fuel cars. Argentina has 1,690,000 CNG vehicles on the road. Brazil has 1,541,000 expected to grow 10% this year. Pakistan - a 3rd world country - has 1,650,000 Germany already has 800 natural gas stations and they plan on having 2 million (yes 2 mill) CNG vehicles by 2020. Italy already has 400,000 CNG vehicles. So, come on America, what are we waiting for? America, which has 10 times more drivers than Argentina, has a pitiful 150,000 CNG vehicles. That's the same number as Bangladesh ! I wonder if Mr. Bush knows that in Iran, by law, 60 percent of new passenger cars and 80 percent of public transport vehicles must use natural gas. Goodness! What's becoming of these terrorists? Pretty soon there might not be a war to fight ! Did you know that there's a natural gas Porsche? Check it out - http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/02/gorgeous-cng-fu.html And how about this, the UK has committed to reduce emissions by a whopping 80% by the middle of this century. This is a serious effort and one every single nation needs to aspire to. It's pointless saying, like His Bushiness, that our economy will suffer if we take extreme measures to control the serious damage we're inflicting on our one and only planet, if the quality of life on the planet is such that it's almost not worth living. We simply must all make every effort we can to reduce the destruction we have done and continue to do to our dear Mother.
