Since the 90's people in both the public and private sector has stated America needs to have a Solid Energy Plan. One that gets us off the hook to importing oil from other countries and allows us to have a cleaner place to live. A plan that can make things efficient without taking such a huge chunk of money from peoples paycheck.

Going back to the first Oil Scare of the 70's and the attempt from American auto companies to supply efficient Pinto's, Mustangs, Camero's, etc., the US has had a Band Aid approach at best to how we deal with our Energy Consumption.

Here in the 21st century you find pure electric solutions, hybrid solutions, BioDiesel Solutions, a desire to go more Nuclear and the latest hot interest is to use our World largest deposits of Natural Gas to secure our independence in the form of CNG.

T. Boone Pickens who made his billions in Oil has been pushing his own agenda for the last 10 years of CNG (compressed Natural Gas). He also has had a vocal position on America's need for an energy independence plan. Now he proposes his thoughts on America's Strategic Petroleum Reserves.

Go to this link, watch his video and sound off on what you think of his stated position / proposition to what some feel is an important American cost, The Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Video only is here:

Does what he say make sense for America?
