Since very few are looking, and it's easier than setting up my own website, I think I'll just pwn this thead. Anyone that hasn't read Richard Bryce "Gusher of Lies" is excluded. (not really, but you should read it!).  Anyone that hates Boone Pickens just because he's rich is excluded.  (not really, but the old fart can't be doing this for money! He can't possibly spend what he has, and he wouldn't be giving away millions to colleges/charity if he were all that hungry for toys (look up who owns the largest yachts in the world.. microsoft and oracle guys)).

Dang people, it's like a plug in, but into a gas line, not an electrical outlet. To hop into the car every morning with a full tank (100-200 miles) would be Great for the majority of us. No more 'need to stop and gas up' at the packed QuikTrip on Friday.  Over half of us have gas lines running into our homes right now!

This whole "energy independence" thing is out of perspective. Energy Is. Who has it sells it to who doesn't. Investment into wind, tidal, or solar is great because it lessens the dependence on oil, but it doesn't reduce the demand for the energy itself. If you want to help America, you'll use a product that is produced in America, thereby keeping the costs and profits in this country.

oops, company came over so in the words of the Governator, "I'll be Back".
