T. Boone Pickens Declares “Energy Independence Day” on Year Anniversary of Pickens Plan

T. Boone Pickens Declares “Energy Independence Day” on Year Anniversary of Pickens Plan Pickens Joins Bipartisan Group of Congressional Leaders on Capitol Hill to Promote Natural Gas Legislation

WASHINGTON--July 8 2009 --Energy expert T. Boone Pickens today declared “Energy Independence Day” on the one year anniversary of the launch of the Pickens Plan. This declaration clearly affirms the ongoing American commitment to ending our addiction to foreign oil.

Pickens marked the anniversary by joining a large bipartisan group of Congressional leaders in the House and the Senate at the U.S. Capitol Building to recognize legislation supporting the sale and use of vehicles that run on clean, domestic natural gas. Pickens appeared with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) to introduce the NAT GAS Act. Pickens also joined Representatives Dan Boren (D-OK), John Larson (D-CT) and John Sullivan (R-OK) and several other bipartisan cosponsors of HR 1835, the NAT GAS Act, introduced on April 1 of this year.

“From here on, July 8th will be recognized as Energy Independence Day, honoring the dedicated members of the Pickens Plan, our leaders in Washington who are taking action to promote energy reform, and the commitment of millions of Americans to break our addiction to foreign oil,” said Pickens.

The Pickens Plan was launched to address what the energy industry veteran has called “the greatest transfer of wealth in human history,” the approximately $475 billion the U.S. paid for foreign oil in 2008. America now relies on foreign nations — many of them unfriendly to the U.S. — for nearly 70 percent of its oil needs, a figure Pickens calls the greatest threat to America’s economic and national security.

“I applaud the Congressional leaders I stand with here today in our nation’s Capitol for their dedication to energy reform. By introducing and supporting legislation that encourages making better use of the abundant resources on our own soil, they are helping create the comprehensive energy plan this country has been lacking for 40 years. America’s national and economic security depends on moving off foreign oil as quickly as possible -- their commitment to keeping energy debate on the forefront is moving us one step closer,” continued Pickens. “We’ve accomplished a lot in a year, including elevating this issue to the national agenda and pressing for immediate action. We have made great progress in the past year, but there is still work to be done. We must keep fighting for a brighter, cleaner domestic energy future.”

In just one year, the Pickens Plan accomplishments include:

•Pickens built an advocacy base-- the Pickens New Energy Army-- of nearly 1.6 million members representing virtually every state and congressional district in the United States •The Pickens Plan website (www.pickensplan.com) has received over 17 million hits and was among the top 1,000 sites worldwide in the first month •Pickens secured nearly 2.7 billion media impressions •Pickens traveled to 35 states, 74 cities and hosted 22 Town Hall Meetings to promote the plan and to educate Americans on the threat imported oil has on our economy and security •Energy reform and foreign oil dependency were elevated to key issues in the 2008 election cycle, and Pickens met with both Presidential candidates on the campaign trail •Pickens participated in the Center For American Progress Action Fund’s National Clean Energy Summit, which was held in early 2009 to discuss America’s energy future; participants included President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Honorary Chairman Senator Harry Reid, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Pickens and several other leading decision policy makers •Approximately 450 bipartisan elected officials have signed the Pickens Pledge for Energy Independence, including 55 U.S. Representatives, 9 U.S. Senators, and 13 Governors •Dozens of corporate and third-party supporters include leading environmentalist Robert Kennedy Jr., American Electric Power, The American Wind Energy Association, AutoNation, Owens Corning, The Propane Education & Resources Council, NGVAmerica and the Sierra Club •Legislative successes that have included incentives that will transform domestic energy production, transmission, and distribution by allowing for a smarter and better grid and focusing investment in renewable technology through tax credits, grants, and loan guarantees •Legislative initiatives moving forward in the House and Senate including a national renewable electricity standard, transmission reform, a green bank to finance America’s move to domestic energy sources, and conversion of trucking fleets to natural gas What Others Have Said About the Pickens Plan:

“I've really come to admire Boone Pickens, he's someone who's made a fortune in oil and he said before he died he wanted to do something for his country and he's doing that.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

“I want to congratulate my very good friend T. Boone Pickens on the first Anniversary of the Pickens Plan. I’m so proud of the tremendous work that Boone is doing to transform our energy future…Congratulations, and once again, a Happy Energy Independence Day.”

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“United States of America, our country, is the only nation that can lead the world when a crisis like this looms. And in order to lead the world, we have to restore the momentum and the can-do spirit that - Boone Pickens exemplifies this - let’s go and let’s do this.”

Former Vice President Al Gore

“T. Boone Pickens is celebrating the first anniversary of the Pickens Plan. Since we joined in hosting a Town Hall meeting on Capitol Hill for House and Senate staffers, we have been working together to help America understand that investing in clean energy is not just an investment in a cleaner, greener America. The Pickens Plan will have an immediate impact on creating jobs and keeping American dollars on American soil.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“We are proud of our partnership with the Pickens Plan and congratulate Boone and all of the 1.6 million members of the Pickens Plan Army on the first anniversary of the Pickens Plan.”

Owens Corning Chairman Mike Thaman

“Last December, the American Lung Association joined with Mayor Mike Bloomberg and T. Boone Pickens at an event in New York City to mark the occasion of the American Lung Association’s support of the Pickens Plan. Since that time many other groups have followed our lead in supporting an energy plan that will have a significant positive impact on air quality throughout the nation. The American Lung Association would like to congratulate Boone Pickens on the first anniversary of the Pickens Plan. We urge everyone to join in this effort.”

American Lung Association President and CEO Charles D. Connor

About the Pickens Plan

Unveiled on July 8, 2008 by T. Boone Pickens, the Pickens Plan is a detailed solution for ending the United States’ growing dependence on foreign oil. Last year, when oil prices reached $140/barrel, America was spending about $700 billion for foreign oil, equaling the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. That figure has decreased some while oil prices have retreated, but the U.S. is still dependent on foreign nations for nearly 70 percent of its oil, representing a continuing national security and national economic threat. The plan calls for expanding the use of domestic renewable resources, such as wind and solar, in power generation and using our abundant supplies of natural gas as a transportation fuel, replacing more than one-third of our imported oil.

More than 1.6 million people have joined the Pickens Army through the website www.pickensplan.com, which has had over 17,000,000 hits. For more information on the Pickens Plan please visit our website www.pickensplan.com.

ADNOC To Set up 11 CNG Stations in Abu Dhabi Emirate

ADNOC To Set up 11 CNG Stations in Abu Dhabi Emirate

By end of 2008, Abu Dhabi Emirate to Have 8 Stations where public can convert their cars to CNG

Environment Agencey Abu Dhabi Emirate, Date:26/12/2007- The Technical Committee Responsible for Implementing Compressed Natural Gas as a Cleaner Alternative held its 14th meeting at the Emirates Standardization and Meteorological Authority Headquarters on December 25, 2007. Compressed Natural Gas, otherwise known as CNG is a safe, environmentally-friendly alternative to petrol.

This Technical Committee is chaired by Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD) and consists of members from ADNOC Distribution, Emirates Standardization and Meteorological Authority, Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters, Public Transportation Department, Federal Environment Agency and Mubadala.

During the meeting, Committee members discussed the progress achieved so far in terms of reaching Abu Dhabi Emirate’s goal of having 20% of the Abu Dhabi Government cars converted to run on CNG by January, 2012.

The Committee discussed the steps that each member organization would take in the next two years (2008-2012) in order to implement this strategy. As part of this effort, ADNOC Distribution will be implementing public awareness campaigns highlighting to the community the benefits of switching their cars to run on CNG.

During the meeting, ADNOC Distribution announced it will finish setting up 11 stations in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to provide CNG to cars as well as 8 workshops in the Emirate where cars could be converted to run on CNG by end of 2008. In Sharjah, 5 such stations will be set up.

ADNOC Distribution also announced that, in coordination with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Marine Agency and Emirates Gas have supplied the Abra project currently being implemented in Dubai with CNG from Abu Dhabi’s Al Maha Station (located in Al Mina Area). Al Maha Station was the 1st station in Abu Dhabi to supply CNG.

EAD will be studying the possibility of reducing registration or renewal fees for permitted facilities with CNG cars to be implemented in early 2009. This would aim to be an economic incentive for more car owners to switch to CNG. Moreover, EAD announced it would be meeting with Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters to discuss the possibility of implementing the ‘Environmental Radar’ in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

During the meeting, the Public Transportation Department announced that it will meet with EAD and ADNOC Distribution to discuss the possibility of purchasing buses that would run on CNG. The General Transportation Administration will also meet with the waste collection companies commissioned by the General Authority for Health Services to look into the possibility of switching some of its vehicles to CNG. Mubadala, in coordination with the Taxi Transport Regulation Center, will set a mechanism to switch a percentage of its feel to run on CNG.

Meanwhile, the Federal Environment Authority (FEA) announced that it has contacted all relevant parties on the federal level to entice them to follow the lead of Abu Dhabi’s in this field. While some emirates expressed their encouragement of the idea, other emirates expressed hesitation due to lack of necessary infrastructure to carry out the project.

More About Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)• CNG has been used for many years to run vehicles in New Zealand, Italy, Argentina and the USA.• Converting your vehicle to run on CNG will involve the fitting of cylinder(s), normally in the boot of the car to store CNG, and associated equipment to allow the gas to flow into the engine.• When converting to CNG, you retain the existing petrol carburetor and fuel tank so that vehicle will still run on petrol. Normally just by turning a switch on the dashboard you can switch between fuel sources. Therefore, nothing will stop the vehicle traveling on petrol outside the area where CNG is not available. However, fuel savings will naturally be greater if the vehicle is run on CNG.• The annual saving in fuel cost through running on CNG will depend on the size and fuel consumption of your vehicle, and on the annual mileage you incur on CNG.• The life of an engine increases by using CNG. Lubricating oil life is extended considerably because CNG does not contaminate and dilute the crankcase oil. • CNG provides easy starting, reliable idling and smooth acceleration.
