Ways to Reduce America's Dependence on Foreign Oil

Want to Reduce America's Dependence on Foreign Oil and increase demand for natural gas at the same time? Here are some things you can do:
  • Visit www.cngnow.com and learn how we can reduce America's dependence on foreign oil NOW (while raising the demand for natural gas in the process). Contact your Congressman and Senators to tell them to support the NatGas Act which will provide incentives and credits to use more natural gas (bill status). Writing a letter usually works best.
  • Get behind the Pickens Plan, which encourages increased usage of natural gas to power automobiles. There are 7 million natural gas vehicles (NGV) on the planet, but only 150,000 of those are in the US.
  • Work together to share information or put blocks of contiguous mineral acres together. Information your best asset.
  • You could even buy a natural gas-powered vehicle to set an example and help increase demand in nat gas. Of course, that would mean giving up your (and my) SUVs.
