Natural Gas for Cars (The key to ending OPEC’s control over the U.S. transportation industry)

Geez, what dopey crap. Sounds as though it's written by someone heavily invested in natural gas. More than half of U.S. petroleum does not come from OPEC nations. 60% of world petroleum is non-OPEC petroleum. And since the beginning of oil production (1859), the world has used about 1 trillion barrels. The United States, in oil shale alone, has about 2 trillion barrels. This doesn't include what is out there on the continental shelf or in Alaska and other places. North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico) dwarfs the petroleum reserves of the rest of the world.

Holy crap, I was right. It was written T. Boone Pickens. The best thing the U.S. could do is to toss out the environmental groups' ability to file third party suits to block nuclear plants and go full nuclear, like France. For all the fears about nuclear waste, it's way cleaner than coal (though that's not to say that I'm opposed to coal).
