I mostly agree with the posts above, especially the ones about pickens and his buddies just wanting to make alot more money off of “the next major energy source”. It doesn’t matter to me if it is LNG. That is okay. At least we can produce it domestically. Absolutely agree that ultra efficient vehicles are the key to taking a big chunk out of the problem.
Companies like AVA Solar are doing well in advancing the technology.
Also pickens page does provide an interesting forum with people who have alot of experience with solar and wind power.
This is the point I was trying to make… 30 years ago we could have started this initiative and now we would not be in the mess we are in. The problem is that the private sector didn’t care because it was not cost effective for them. Similarly the government had no interest because they didn’t have to care. Now we are in an intractable mess so it is now cost efficient for those who have all the money to build up the new platform, (whatever it may be).
Whatever way we get there, whether we use an LNG bridge for LNG vehicles, solar, wind, whatever… it is going to be provided by big oil with more then likely taxpayer money.
