Capping off a furious week of television and radio appearances, speeches, “conversations” and interviews, Boone had a major opinion piece published in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday.
He reminded the readers of President-elect Barack Obama’s home-town newspaper that despite the (temporary) decline in oil prices, we are still importing 70 percent of the oil we use.
Boone quoted a new study by the International Energy Agency which warned “Output from the world’s oil fields is declining faster than previously thought . . . annual output will decline by 8.6 percent.” So, when the world’s economies recover and the demand for oil goes back up: “Higher demand. Lower supply. Spiking prices.”
In writing that we must “end our addiction to foreign oil” Boone reminded Chicago’s readers that “Natural gas is cleaner, cheaper, abundant, available now, and completely domestic.”
