True Residual Income…Electricity/Natural gas
Tap into the energy business and make TRUE RESIDUAL INCOME!
How many people do you know right now that uses electricity or natural gas?
Would they rather pay more, less, or get free energy?
Consider these facts:
1. We deliver a product that is below retail costs
2. Everyone uses this product.
3. Everyone understands how to use our product, which means zero product education.
4. You are not selling anything, you are only educating others their choices.
5. We don’t change the way the customer buys the product. They use it like normal, and they pay for it the same way they did before.
Here are four reasons why we think it makes perfect sense for you to get started today:
1. Perfect Timing
Energy deregulation is sweeping across America. Texas and New York now allow competition for both residential and commercial customers. Other states will follow in the months and years to come. When markets deregulate, consumers rush to better choices and lower prices. That rush is just beginning.
2. Perfect Product
Electricity is a trillion-dollar industry. Everyone understands it. Everyone uses it. Everyone likes to save money. It’s easy to explain. Anyone can sell it. Natural gas is similar. Everyone uses it. Everyone likes to save money. Your customers save money and generate income to you every month.
3. Simple Business
No deliveries, no inventory, no complicated paperwork, and no customer service for you. Ambit Energy takes care of everything. You’ll be backed by a solid company with an experienced management team so you can begin your journey to financial independence.
4. Flexible Schedule
Work how and when you want. Work from your home. Enjoy more time with your family and friends. According to the Direct Sales Association, home-based business owners generated over $30 billion in sales in 2005. Over 80% of them worked less than 30 hours per week. Many have replaced the income from their full-time jobs and are now free to pursue a lifestyle they never dreamed possible.

NGV Natural Gas Vehicle Bus Commercial by Korea Ministry of Environment WWW.NGVI.CO.KR
Submitted by NGVI www.ngvi.co.kr NGV City Buses CF Parody of Natural Gas Buses in South Korea by the Ministry of Environment. Funny CF Parody. South Korea. NGVI and South Korea Ministry of Environment are leaders in NGV for public transportation. The Seoul
Metropolitan Government has announced that from 2010, the only buses permitted on the citys streets will be powered by natural gas. The measures have been taken in an effort to combat pollution. Korea Times reports that the city government will fund the program to the tune of 96.8 billion won (US$101 million) with bus operators
receiving subsidies of up to 22.7 million won (US$23,700) for each bus purchased. This amount covers most of the differential cost of purchase, with CNG buses costing around 94 million won per unit (US$98,000) vs diesel bus cost of 67.7 million won (US$70,700). The bulk of the buses are expected to be provided by South Korean
manufacturers, Daewoo and Hyundai. As of today, NGVI’s Korea NGV Statistics: August 17th, 2009: 23,219 NGVS total, 21,323 CNG Buses, 429 CNG Garbage Trucks.

What symbol is used to get a quote on current and historical natural gas prices. I get quotes on Yahoo Finance
I know how to get stock and mutual fund quotes, but am not sure about commodity prices.
Yahoo! Finance does not carry commodity price data. You should use NYMEX:

Natural Gas and electic cars – how long before replacing oil/gasoline engines?
Since the first natural gas and alternative energy (non-ethanol, which is a wasteful fuel) powered automobiles were first used – how long will it be from today when we can say there are no more gasoline powered vehicles?
when people become more educated and understand that energy has to come from somewhere. Where’s the energy gonna come from for electric cars. The only source right now that is abundant enough is the burning of fossil fuels, so that alleviates no problem. Natural gas still gives off green house gas but it can be produced in small quantities from garbage, so once again it is a resource that has limited quantities. Same with hydrogen technology, you have to use energy to get the hydrogen, and like i said the only resource available enough to do that on a wide scale is fossil fuels. We can’t burn coal to produce hydrogen from hydrolysis. That doesn’t help anything, in fact it is worse because of energy transformation losses. We need to base our energy off of other energy as in solar, wind, nuclear, etc. first before we can think implement this technology on a wide scale
Right now we need to be concerned with what we have. Conventional engines are by far not as efficient as they should be. Smaller displacement, coupled with high compression, turbo’s, direct injection, diesel are tools we need to implement to save gas. Also hybrid technology is another useful efficiency tool we need to use. It uses the energy from the car slowing and can store it and then use it for forward motion later. Using these technologies we should be able to boost efficiencies close or over 50%
advantages of natural gas electric power?
1. Low initial build cost.
2. Higher efficiency than other methods of generation.
3. Can be built on less total ground.
4. Much easier permitting.
5. Much much lower emissions.
6. Extremely fast start-ups and shut downs than alternative generation.
7. Ability to adjust output rapidly.
There are many disadvantages as well…
Pelosi has $50-100k invested in Natural Gas, she referred to it as a "small amount" can you say she?
is out of touch? And presents a conflict of interest?
And why doesn’t a brilliant career politician realize that Natural Gas is indeed a fossil fuel?
“MR. BROKAW: You just mentioned natural gas, and you emphasized it as well in your last radio address…
REP. PELOSI: Yeah.
MR. BROKAW: …talking about the energy plan. And then we read in The Wall Street Journal that you and your husband have made a substantial investment in the plan that T. Boone Pickens has put forward, which has a heavy emphasis on natural gas as well.
REP. PELOSI: But let me see if you call substantial 03 three percent of our investments.
MR. BROKAW: Oh, it’s what, between 100 and $200,000.
REP. PELOSI: No, no, it was between 50 and $100,000, and it’s part of an, you know, entrepreneurial package. This is the package we sign up for, this is what they invest in. But that’s not the point. I’m, I’m, I’m investing in something I believe in. I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels.
MR. BROKAW: But you’re also in a position to influence where the emphasis will be in where we’re moving.
REP. PELOSI: Well, that’s not–that is, that is the marketplace. The fact is, the supply of natural gas is so big, and you do need a transition if you’re going to go from fossil fuels, as you say, you can’t do it overnight, but you must transition. These investments in wind, in solar and biofuels and focus on natural gas, these are the real alternatives.”

Pablo, I agree, but it does represent a conflict for her, she can control policy.
She is worth around $50 million.
Wouldn’t be easier to get people to buy vehicles that run on natural gas than electric or hybird vehicles?
I believe the average difference between a regular vehicle and a hybird of the same type is between $10,000 & $15,000. Don’t you think they could build a vehicle that runs on natural gas for a lot less than that?
Yes, and you can retrofit your car to run on natural gas. It’s still a fossil fuel, however, so you haven’t done much to help the Climate Change problem.
