    Not sure what happened with my reply, but what I was trying to say was the problem with these graphs is that the general public either never see them or are too dumb to comprehend what they are looking at.

    It really is amazing how ignorant the vast majority of people are when it comes to anything related to the oil and gas industry or even business in general.

    What can possibly be the excuse for not initiating an immediate shift to CNG vehicles? It's abundant. It's here in our own country. It would eliminate dependence on foreign energy sources. It would create enormous revenue and employment in our own country. The voting public needs to demand that this begin to happen immediately. Crude could be kept around until all vehicles are CNG. Start by making all new vehicles CNG vehicles and then offer a complete tax credit incentive for people who invest in CNG conversion kits for their existing vehicles or tax incentives for people to trade in gasoline vehicles for CNG vehicles. Boone has been out front on this......and it would bring a windfall to OSU which wouldn't be a bad thing either....

    Everyone has been scared into the idea that fracking will lead to our demise.
