I said: “IMO, nothing in the Act would have enriched Pickens directly but indirectly he would certainly benefit from his financial interests in CLNE, WPRT and various natural gas holdings.”

There was no subsidy or tax credit directed toward any of Pickens’ investments in the Nat Gas Act. You keep looking for a “Plan”. The Plan was to get this legislation passed to quickly reduce our dependence on OPEC oil. The plan failed but Pickens is going forward anyway, very slowly, without any govt help - you have acknowledged this above. Quit trying to falsely demonize Pickens and don’t quote me out of context.

LOL So subsidizing the industry that he owns the largest supplier of fuel isn't directly subsidizing him. Okay, got that.

Yes. He advertises having a plan, requests people to support the plan, but only states the goals, not the plan. Democrats often do this to get their garbage legislation past people without letting them know the actual actions that will be imposed.

I am not accusing Pickens of being democrat. But I want more than goals, I want the actions taken to be known. That is what a plan actual is, letting people know how we are going to reach the goal. Calling it a plan is his words, not mine. So where is the plan? Why is it so hard to find on a web site dedicated to promoting the plan?
