He makes excellent point that electic and plug-in hybrids make sense for cars, while natural gas is required to provide sufficient horse power for trucks. Thus his plan for shifting natural gas to fuels, and using wind & solar for electricity. Great comment. Thanks. I watched my Tivo’d copy of T.Boone Pickens on the Daily Show tonight.

Make electric plug in car technology more affordable. It cost the equivalent of 60 cents a gallon to drive an electric plug in car. The electric could be generated from wind or solar. Get with it! Utilize free sources such as wind and solar. Stop throwing away money on things that don't work. Invest in America and it's energy independence. Create cheap clean energy, create millions of badly needed green collar jobs. Put America back to work. It is a win-win situation. We have to become more poractive citizens, educate ourselves and demand our elected officials move this country forward into the era of energy independence. Jeff Wilson's new book The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW outlines a plan for America to wean itself off oil.
