First, Boone Pickens came out in favor of wind. His ‘Pickens Plan‘ was to construct wind and solar farms to take the burden of natural gas powered plants off line, to some degree. Yesterday, the CNG Now group came out with this ad. It seems that compressed natural gas interests are ready to roll out [...]
I could speak forever about Barack Obama’s historic speech last night. However, to do my job, I must focus on the matter at hand – energy. We will have the next 67 days to discuss politics. At one point, midway through Sen. Obama’s speech, he said this: And I’ll invest $150 billion over the next [...]

In a controversial move, the US Government guarantees loans to Chrysler [...]
I went to a Catholic Parochial school. Being the naughty little hooligans we were, someone was always getting in some sort of trouble. There was this kid Timmy and he was more mischievous than he was pure evil. After he was caught passing notes, teasing some girl, or doing something unmentionable with paste, the nuns [...]
