They had been working on the bike the past couple of months prior to unvailing it. Over nine millions viewers are expected to watch a show dedicated to the construction of the natural gas motorcylce. The new natural gas powered chopper is exciting as the benefits of natural gas in transportation are numerous. We look forward to seeing the benefits of natural gas directed towards largers fleets on our roads riding along side the choppers.

EXCO Board Member T. Boone Pickens will be attending this event and will be speaking about the Pickens Plan and his proposal for improving U.S. energy independence through the use of alternative energy sources, including natural gas.

Mr. Pickens is the architect of the Pickens Plan aimed at reducing America’s increasing dependence on foreign oil. The plan calls for a comprehensive energy plan that would make better use of our abundant natural resources, including natural gas. . He has called foreign oil dependence — America imports nearly 70 percent of its oil — the greatest economic and national security threat facing our nation. More than 1.5 million Americans have joined this movement through his web site, www.pickensplan.com.

In early 2008, EXCO management decided to convert its fleet of trucks in the EXCO-operated Vernon Natural Gas Field in Jackson Parish to utilize compressed natural gas rather than gasoline or diesel for truck fuel. According to Doug Miller, (Chairman and CEO), “we built our new compressed natural gas fueling station to utilize our locally-produced natural gas for our fleet. Compressed natural gas burns cleaner than gasoline, diesel or propane and we are dedicated to doing our part to help the environment.” The EXCO compressed natural gas vehicle fueling facility is the first of its kind- illustrating EXCO‘s commitment to finding innovative alternative fuel sources for its ongoing operations.
