Pickens is also a windmills guy, or at least was.
I have no respect for him.
“He proposes we dribble it [the Strategic Petroleum Reserve] out over 10 years then use the proceeds to fund renewable energy initiatives.”
In other words, sell the reserve and give the money to Pickens to spend researching renewables. In the end, Pickens has spent our money tilting at windmills and we have given up our one small buffer against terrorists manipulating us with oil. Then we are dependent on terrorists AND on Picken’s gas reserves for our energy. What a great deal.
I’m figuring a half a million tossed into to Zero’s campaign bucket will buy that.
