Looks like old T-Boone has gotten to a bunch of Republicans. Ron Paul co-sponsored this pork filled bill.

The republicans are just as corrupt as the democraps when it come to cronyism. They will sell their own daughters for a damn vote or five dollars.

You know what, there ARE millionaires we can learn to hate, and TBP is one of them (along with Gates and the Rockefellers).

Pay attention. NG has suddenly become plentiful in the US. No refineries needed. No pollution. No ethonol. No Arabs involved. We need to make it happen. Better spent on this than windmills and solar garbage.

Still doesn’t justify tax funded subsidies and billions in earmarks.

The winter brown-outs across Texas are a good symbol of T-Boone’s plan. That, and pretty much ruining cotton farms in the panhandle.

The elephant in the room is distribution, for whatever fuel is used.

I think Denmark has a hydrogen system ramping up or some such.’H2’ http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/blog2/index.php/hydrogen-fuel-distribution/denmark-opens-h2-fueling-station-links-germany-and-scandinavia/

A city in Italy (Venice?) is doing something for the whole city with hydrogen.http://oddtag.com/2010/07/12/the-worlds-first-hydrogen-run-power-plant-fusina-venice-italy/

Frankly, I’d have bought one of the Honda LNG cars that were tested. The technology itself is exciting. So are hybrids and fuel cells. Or making gasoline from grass, like what AFRL can do.

If T-boone wants it...it should ONLY come out of his wallet.

Well, we did have Scott Brown trying to marry off his daughter. I'd have courted her, had her dad not been a liberal. :)

Make it happen my ass, we have been paying farmers to grown corn, which conservative oppose and now you want us to pay billionaire pickets more billions in tax credits for natural gas, are you out of your mind. The answer is hell no, let it stand on its own dam feet.

If it’s a great idea the market will reward it. Taxpayers don’t need to be punished by this no matter how good an idea.

What happened to the wind fields TBoone?

Pray for America

This is a national security issue. We can be energy independent, or almost so, by using natural gas to power our vehicles. I would much rather have the money for our fuel spent here at home, creating jobs here and putting royalty payments in the hands of American landowners, rather than sending billions of petrodollars to middle eastern ragheads who recycle part of it to the terrorist network.

The site isn’t what you think. Check it out, it is a site opposing government knee jerk actions on the subject. It exposes how government is using global warming to take away freedoms.
