Every single 1 of us has value. We are value, we are the Pickens Plan. Pat Jack Pickens Plan Ambassador

Congratulations Boone and those who support your Plan. I want to help make it happen. For 20 years my talented research engineer son (UC Berkeley Drake Scholar) and I have researched and designed with limited resources to create cost effective, self sustaining answers to the problems dependence on oil would create. I assure you Matt is uniquely prepared to present details of how to make natural gas the preferred transportation fuel. Boone and Aubrey McClenden will want to be aware of the cleaver engineering advances, traffic flow improvements and economics needed to make converting all cars and trucks to NG a no-brainer. Over many years of hard work Matt has created and detailed numerous ways to profitably extract as much energy as needed from U.S. wind. We have also detailed feasible engineering advances to extract and deliver abundant energy from remote wind and ocean swells. I am sure Boone and supporters would get excited. Boone and McClenden both have the resources to kick start one or more of Matt’s self-sustaining energy solutions that require no government subsidies. The time to solve our energy problems rapidly by fusing Matt’s concepts with Pickens plan has come. Is Matt a recognized wolrld expert on the energy problem? No! He has been busy developing the expertise and concepts to create the solutions. In 1992 Matt and I built a bicycle that was the first and only bike to ever go 85 MPH. Now we can build one that can advertise Pickens plan by safely exceeding 100mph and traveling 80 miles in one hour. We have no way to sit down with Boone like Charlie Rose and discuss the elegant engineering needed to improve his plan and have political support. I am sure Pickens talked with the best he knows of but I think Matt will help with the details needed to make it happen fast! John E Weaver MD drweaver@speed101.com

Right on JACK "Every single 1 of us has value. We are value, we are the Pickens Plan. Pat Jack Pickens Plan Ambassador" That is exactly why Boone Pickens and Aubrey McClendon need to sit down with Matt Weaver! Learn how to make converting to natural gas irresistible... so it will happen FAST.

I was one of the early members of the Pickens army. The first time I heard Mr. Pickens on TV and he mentioned the 700 billion going out of the economy yearly I immediately went and checked out his web site and joined. The reason was I have been watching for years as our economy has been picked apart by globalization imbalance of trade and the outsourcing of jobs. I have felt for years that the only thing keeping our economy going at all was the huge amounts of money that get funneled into a community when houses are being built and now that, that has played out the only thing that I see that can save us is investing in the creation of energy production in this country. This concept is so simple and fundamental that I still marvel that it isn’t talked about by everyone in the media on a hourly bases. If we can invest our dollars in this country into things that create more wealth i.e. energy then we can pull out of these economic crises in short order. This economic meltdown will focuses our minds and present us with a great opportunity to teach basic principles that have been lost in today’s modern complex world. If a people have freedom, water, energy and knowledge they are rich.

If you ever wonder if Boone is watching us and appreciates all that we do, please see today's latest Boone Cam video featured on the FRONTPAGE of Pickens Plan, (at the time of this posting), thanking: Mike Johnston Kim Anderson and Joe Maddalone for their work in assisting us in surpassing the 1,000,000 member mark for the New Energy Army. You can view Boone's video that directly thanks and compliments members just like you and me at any time HERE ! Thanks you for all you do. Sincerely, Pat Jack Pickens Plan Ambassador

I'm confused: Mr. Pickens you swift boated the wrong guy in 2004 and supported more than once the wrong guy for president and energy change. Your guys did not believe in science and global warming. Today we are truly in the Picken's Pickle; as your monetary support is partly to blame. When you say, "For 30 years you've asked each president about energy change and no one has done a thing about it." Well, I guess you have been asking and supporting the wrong guys. 8 years ago, I don't think Al Gore was behind the curve on Global warming, fossil fuel consumption (OIL) and a dire need for energy change.

Hi Jeanne Taylor, I don't understand your point in bringing up Mr. Picken's past political activities. Like all Americans, Mr. Pickens has the right to support any politician he chooses. This is not the site for bringing up the past....we need to push single-mindedly towards our goal of cleaner, cheaper, American energy. Remember, in all battles, mistakes are made. That doesn't mean victory is not achieved. Rhonda S. Carsten....St. Louis, MO

...call me a free thinker, curious and a bit cynical; my right to question. I'm part of the "plan" but we don't have to go blindly.

Congratulations Boone.,

Congratulations Boone! And Congratulations All Plan Members who've gone out to spread the word, held Pickens Parties, sent emails told friends, etc! This is an incredible showing for all the candidates, especially presidential. Thank You Mr. Pickens and look foward to seeing you in Spokane! Sincerely, Richard Wickberg

Go Mr Pickens Go Im with ya 100% I write and bitch all the time to my reps in government I hope everyone will do the same they will hear us sooner than later Get r done America we can kick ass together

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 How China is Beating the United States in the Global Oil Game By Keith Fitz-Gerald Investment Director Money Morning/The Money Map Report Iraq recently signed its first oil deal in 35 years with a foreign company. And – quite surprisingly to many observers – the company wasn’t one of ours. Not surprisingly, the U.S. news media barely acknowledged the deal – even though the agreement was major news throughout the rest of the world. According to reports from Baghdad, the 22-year deal between the Iraqi government and the China National Petroleum Co. involves $55 billion, or 87% of Iraq’s current total revenue at a conservative long-term estimate of $100 a barrel. The deal is actually a renegotiated version of a 1997 agreement between China and a Saddam Hussein-led Iraq. That original deal included production-sharing rights, but under the new contract China will be paid for its services, but will not share in profits, The New York Times reported. The payments will be made in cash – and won’t be “in kind” payments of crude oil, the newspaper said. While this deal, on its face, appears to be just another global oil-services contract, it’s actually a very significant development in the hunt for long-term energy supplies. In fact, it actually demonstrates that – when it comes to nailing down those long-term oil supplies – China is an expert, and is playing a very deep game. And the outcome of that game will certainly have substantial long-term implications for consumers and investors both here in the United States, and in markets abroad. Here’s why: With estimated reserves of 115 billion barrels, Iraq is tied with Iran for the world’s No. 2 position, trailing Saudi Arabia, which has estimated reserves of 264 billion barrels, according to estimates from the Energy Information Administration. In a country where electricity is in short supply, the oil produced from the Ahdab Oil Field will help fuel a planned power plant that would be one of the largest in Iraq. By helping Iraq with this key initiative, China can expect to gain a solid foothold in one of the most oil-rich nations in the world, analysts say. At the end of the day, the deal clearly highlights something that most U.S. investors haven’t focused on yet – namely that the eventual winners in this game may not be such well-known giants as Chevron Corp. (CVX), ExxonMobil Corp. (XOM), or other household names. Deals like this one and the host of others that are undoubtedly close behind suggest that tomorrow’s winners may have names most English-speaking investors can’t pronounce, since they’ll be distinctly Arabic or Chinese in nature. [Two recent installments of Money Morning’s popular new “Buy, Sell or Hold” feature have focused on Chevron. Take some time to peruse the original story, as well as the update.] Sign up below… and we’ll send you a new investment report for free: “Credit Crisis Report.” China’s Shrewd Long-Term Oil Plan The important thing for investors to understand now is that oil ownership, as I have said for many years, is an illusion. It does not guarantee price, nor profit. What really matters in the end is having secure supply lines and sources from the Middle East (and other parts of the world). Under this new contract, CNPC will provide technical advisors, oil workers and equipment to help develop the Ahdab oil field southeast of Baghdad, said Assim Jihad, a spokesman for Iraq’s Oil Ministry. While China won’t participate in the profits from the oil it helps pump, it is shrewd enough to realize there will be long-term benefits. Analysts who see the bigger picture here agree with our view. “There are some political profits for China,” Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum, a former Iraqi oil minister, told The Times. “They need access to Iraq, and when they need oil, at least the Iraqi people will feel that China has done something for them.” And that’s not all. Before 2003, Iraq had oil agreements with China, Russia, Indonesia, India and Vietnam – three of which included production-sharing agreements, The Times reported. But the big jump in oil prices, the new government and a myriad of other changes that have taken place since that time prompted Iraq to reconsider the terms of those deals, Iraqi officials said. Iraq continues to negotiate other service contracts with ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell PLC (ADR: RDS.A, RDS.B), Total SA (ADR: TOT), BP PLC (ADR: BP), Chevron, and some smaller oil companies. The deals have been reduced in length from two years to one after Iraq took a lot of flak for not putting the contracts out for competitive bidding. But China’s contract was the first major one to be completed – and for one simple reason, Jihad, the Iraqi Oil Ministry spokesman, said. CNPC had “wide experience in this field,” and because many foreign oil companies were not willing to come to Iraq. China has apparently learned how to play the global oil game with a pro’s touch. Ironically, it was the United States that crystallized this vision. By invading Iraq, the United States dealt China’s central planning commission an embarrassing wakeup call when the second Gulf War summarily wiped out China’s oil interests in Iraq. When that happened, China’s central planners realized two things: The status quo in the global oil game had changed. And China’s double-digit economic miracle could not be sustained with only a few oil suppliers. What China fears most is that there will not be enough oil to go around in the very near future and that a U.S.-dominated supply chain could effectively “strangle” China’s growth. So, it has done what the United States and other great powers have done at other times in history and gone on a buying spree from Darfur to Peru that’s turned heads and ruffled feathers all across the world. What’s been especially frustrating for hapless Western leaders who do not understand that their actions caused this in the first place, is that China’s not afraid to do business with rogue nations like Iran, Sudan and Burma. It has even gotten chummy with Venezuela and Russia – much to the consternation of our present administration. It’s a virtual certainty that China will maintain this policy going forward. My contacts in China and Africa have told me point blank that China’s leaders “don’t care about human rights or nukes or hostile governments. What matters is anyone who provides oil to China no matter what the rest of the world thinks.” So, in as much as the U.S. media has dismissed this deal as only one in a long string of recent Chinese oil purchases, it’s arguably the most important deal yet. The reason: It suggests that China will go to extraordinary lengths to obtain the oil it wants and needs. To add to its stable of captive oil suppliers, China will pay far more money, endure limitless criticism for ignoring human-rights issues and endure harsher business conditions than our companies can or will undertake. While U.S. firms must worry about sanctions, bad publicity or simply security, China worries about one thing, and one thing only – getting oil. It’s a lesson initially learned from us. Then they refined it. Perhaps it’s time we re-learned this lesson from China.
