ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

All the other technologies being offered right now as alternative sources of energy are just a bridge until we arrive upon a “Hydrogen Economy”. Despite what many oil industry critics may believe, the people who will bring us there are the men and women of the oil industry. They have a significant advantage over many emerging technologies in terms of deployable assets that if replicated will take considerable time and cost. They also have a proven and effective distribution channel (Gasoline Stations) for their products and services that could be modified to accommodate Hydrogen.

One of these Oilmen worth watching is T. Boone Pickens. I have been keeping track of his new project “The Pickens Plan” and will look for every opportunity to assist him on his mission to wean America from its dependence on foreign oil.
