Provides resources on the language, history, and culture of the Cherokee."

- Is Natural Gas Our Next Clean Energy Source? (MSNBC News)
Fareed Zakaria tells Robert Hefner: "Natural gas is plentiful and clean, but when you add up the costs of exploration, storage and delivery, it's also expensive."
"Could you use the grid that pipes gas into people's homes to deliver natural gas as fuel for cars?"
"America has a very undervalued asset in the million-mile pipeline grid that delivers natural gas to towns and cities, and directly to over 60 million American homes. You can put a small compressor appliance in your garage and fuel your automobile every night from the natural gas that is already connected to your house. Natural gas is also an excellent fuel to generate electricity. Prior to the Fuel Use Act in 1978 that prohibited the use of natural gas for power generation, Oklahoma generated over 80 percent of its electricity with natural gas. Today about 85 percent of Singapore's electricity is generated by natural gas, and they are headed toward 100 percent." 09-07
