Pickens is following the blueprint of the biofuels subsidies, and looking at Archer Daniels Midland as a role model on how to make money on the backs of US citizens.
I wholeheartedly agree that biofuels was an ill-conceived plan and would never have gotten off the ground without our tax dollars. We need to pull all government subsidies now. If biofuels is so great, it will stand on its own.
I refer to biofuels as the "Starve People, Feed Cars" program
Before one dime is spent on this idiot, He should finance wind and natural gas power on 1 city of say 50,000 with his crackpot idea and take them off the grid completely. Then spend 5 years monitoring their daily use to prove the viability of this. That way he proves he’s right and we see the results to justify the tax. Me thinks it’ll bomb!
