regarding natural gas in vehicles, senator harry reid has said that he is a supporter of with boone pickens is talking fueling heavyas vehicles with natural gas. it is something that could be in their proposal. on that point, using natural gas in the transportation sector, it seems like there is significant support for getting that into the energy bill. host: democratic , cincinnati. -- democratic line, cincinnati. caller: my husband and i are sitting here where the young man was interviewing the lady in the delta or what ever. he passed if mr. obama had a clue. the silliness of her answer -- we were going to give money to the red cross for the gulf. we put our checkbook back in the door. that turns me off. my question to the young man sitting there, is this now going to be a wake-up call to the self to started diversifying the industry? guest:+ one of the things that has been a very complicated nature of the gulf spill is the idea of the offshore moratorium law while the administration conducts a detailed safety review to determine what has happened and prevent it from happening. while the

determination and i heeve it's a deliberate deception of growth and confident because the amount of boon, skimmers and cleanup of the beaches and rescue of birds and turltses, you need it in order to capture the oil coming out of that spill, testing for the health of the workers. it was all dependent on how large the spill was. are you ready to apologize to getting that number so grossly wrong that the capacity of federal and state governments to put in place a response was delayed because you did not do the job. >> i will just reiterate what com aun dauntal -- commandant said. they were estimates. >> thhy were your cameras at the bottom of the ocean. >> that's true. >> your company got it wrong, b.p. got it wrong. >> we have provided every bit of data we've got into the unified area command with government scientists and the noaa, coast guard to help them understand. >> on the day that you are ready to apologize -- >> what's that? >> on the day you are ready to apologize, that is the day we can begin to move forward and put together the kinds of plans to make sure this never happens aga

the internet has been a boon for a decade. we are afraid that as the national government intervenes to make decisions to control the pipe that there will be less intervention, less innovation, and less job creation. it is like in 1933 regulation. trying to use those laws to force a digital age is crazy talk. >> democrats in both chambers have announced plans to update the communications act. do you support that effort, and is there any chance that telecom legislation could emerge this year? >> not this year. the last rewrite took about six to eight years. we have been talking about it even when republicans are a majority, but the s.e.c. is broken up. they are still packed into an environment that does not reflect the digital age. i would be excited about it. i think it would help the ssa in their day-to-day management of business, talking about the new technology today and getting a new look at it. that shows you how quickly this industry moves. the 96 telecom act -- we now need to readdress it for a new era. >> congressman sh

boone pickens, right along this said this could go into mid september. go you buy that? >> i do.hink what people are overlooking is the fact that relief well is not always successful. and this is predicted to be one of the worst hurricane seasons in several years a hurricane comes through and deposits further oil inland and on the larger wetlands and marches causing further environmental disaster is a very real possibility and people need help, the restoration needs to start happening now and people in the communities suffering need help now, bus in the long run, paying money for legitimate claims won't be helpful. and it is a good step in the right direction but it is not dealing with with the challenges and the very real pain that's happening today. >> edward, what do you hope to accomplish with this short documentary film? >> we are just allowing people to experience the human outlook on it i know that they wouldn't talk to any of the reporters. these people would never talk to reporters. >> why not? >> for the -- afraid of bp. yeah. they on the gulf right now. >> larry: now y

boone pickens thinks this will go longer than they think. what if this goes into the elections?the obama administration has a huge problem on its hands. it has to be tougher, much more clear and downright punitive with bp to win public support. it is okay, not okay. it will be acceptable from vote tires support democrats if democrats appear to be having an articulate clear plan for fixing the problem. if they appear to be in the back pockets of corporations don't impose regulation or have a clear sign in terms of how they will develop technology to fix the problem. democrats will have a major loss. no matter how much this is an issue of republicans, democrats, public/private, the obama administration is the only group of people on the line in november. >> they would lose louisiana, mississippi, alabama anyway. do you think it really affects a lot of votes in new york or oregon? >> i think when you look at hearings like today and see the type of public performance and posturing from representatives around the nation even people who aren't affected voters care about the issues. vo

boone pickens on this show -- and he has been right about this all along -- said this could go into mid september, and do you buy that? >> well, i do. what people are overlooking the fact that the relief well is not always successful on the first try, so it could go beyond september, and what is scary and scaring at lot of to residents down here who lived through katrina, this is predicted to be one of the worst hurricane seasons in the years, and the hurricane comes in to deposit more oil further inland on the wetlands and the marshes to cause more environmental and human disaster is a real problem. and people need help and the restoration needs to help now, and the people in the communities who are suffering need help now. in the long run, paying money for legitimate claims won't be helpful. it is a good step in the right direction, but it is not dealing with thele clhallenges and the real pain that is happening today. >> larry: edward, what do you hope to accomplish with this short documentary? >> well, we are hoping to allow people to experience the human outlook of this. the people

i think boone pickens has done an excellent job of educating the country about where our money is going and who is spending is based on energy. if we could be energy independence, we would be stronger because that money is invested in america, and one type of technology will not get us there. technology continues to improve, but what is so unique about where we all live, we are one of the largest in wind, one of the largest in solar. we have geothermal, and we do our part when it comes to oil. we produce 10% of the oil in the nation. our oil costs more, and you get less money for it, but if you're buying it someplace else from another country, are we finding of problem? we have to look at it. how can we protect the environment where we control our own destiny? let's go over here. . xñxí [inaudible] [inaudible] internet security needs to be dealt with. we have facilities that need to be upgraded. i guess that is set. >> you have a couple points in there. this bill on the gulf as a tremendous problem. we have to cap it. and we of down for a number of days that the oil is coming to the coa
