On the road...

Hello from the Heart of Dixie! As I work with my partners to develop viable energy projects, in my travels I am encouraged more and more every day that people are ready to break the grip of foreign oil on the United States. People are really engaged. They are as concerned about energy independence as they are about healthcare.

Regardless of what your preference and belief in energy solution to our present problem, it's is clear that whatever we do it must include every facet of energy production and include every viable form of energy we presently have at our disposal domestically...and it requires that we devote REAL resources to developing revolutionary technologies that will transform our energy economy.

Today, we had the opportunity to first visit with my good friend (and next U.S. Senator from Kentucky) Trey Grayson--present Kentucky Secretary of State. He gets the need for energy security and independence. He understands that it will take all forms of energy--including coal--and doesn't shy away from that position (nor does he equivocate that position). Then, we left the airport rally and headed to Atlanta, Georgia, where we met with folks from Alabama, Louisana and Mississippi about the potential for utilizing natural gas for transportation fuels. Clearly, we must deploy technologies that are 1) proven and 2) are reliable domestic energy sources. The United States, notably the South and Midwest, have great reserves of natural gas, which will provide us the pathway to energy independence as a clean, efficient and reliable transportation fuel.

CNG Energy, LLC is making great strides in our efforts to develop this market to provide natural gas for vehicles. We are building every day and continue to work to conclude agreements that will provide dependable, cheaper transportation fuel and to create good-paying jobs for Kentucky, as well as the region we are developing.

I am truly excited about the potential that NGV provides for cheaper and cleaner transportation fuel--and the success the future holds for our company as we move forward.

I welcome you comments and questions about CNG and the great potential for the new energy economy.
