T. Boone Pickens appeared on the Fox Business Channel to discuss his plan to utilize natural gas as a step in helping build a national energy plan.

Boone said that the Nat Gas Act (H.R. 1380) and an expected Senate bill are a product of working with Washington which is always “slow going.”

He said the Department of Energy should be helping solve energy problems facing Americans today but “they’re talking about energy 20-30 years in the future.”

Boone said that heavy trucks will go to natural gas because it is cleaner than diesel and “two dollars a gallon cheaper” but that the government could jump start that process and help get it done in five years.
