Hey Army!
Another week, another city. We hitched up the T. Boone Express and flew it into New York City for a meeting put on by Barclays Capital which is the investment division of Barclays Bank, PLC over in London.
Matter of fact, if you look up Barclays Bank you see that their head office is at “1 Churchill Place, London. I don’t know if that’s the best address in London for a big commercial bank, but it seems like a pretty good one, to me.
Anyhow, they asked me to come and speak at this conference which they’re putting on for men and women 
in New York who are in the business of trading commodities futures. This, as I think you know, has not been a very good time for folks in that particular business.
But, I went and chatted with them about the Pickens Plan and why it is the only
way to quickly move down the percentage of foreign oil we’re using.
I told them what you’ve heard me say a hundred times – and I’ll say another hundred times: You can’t move an 18-wheeler with a battery. The only domestic fuel available to substitute for foreign diesel is domestic natural gas.
These are pretty smart people, but they understood that I’ve been doing this a lot longer than they have and when I say that as soon as we see signs that the world’s economies are beginning to move, that oil and gas will move up right quick.
The Obama transition team is moving quickly to get the team in place so that when President-elect Obama becomes President Obama at noon on January 20, he’s ready to go.
Keep the pressure on, Army. We’re marching forward!
