I’m glad he pulled out. It was a stupid enterprise to begin with. If he thought he was going to sop up the gravy left on the plate by the likes of Algore, etc., T. Boone was sadly mistaken, LOL!

They’re not gonna leave ANY gravy for people that actually could make green energy profitable, LOL!

“It was a little more complicated than we thought,” Mr. Pickens told The Dallas Morning News, a bit of understatement that supports a point made here more than a couple of times. His comment surprises a lot of folks who expected a savvy businessman like T. Boone Pickens not to make an error characteristic of rookies.

Pickens saw what he thought was a way to make a huge amount of money based on tax subsidies and tax credits when he knew wind power was at least three times as expensive to make as many other forms.

What the Congress, the administration, the environmentalist fringe and the greenies must do is adopt a position of thoughtful analysis, and move as quickly as possible, but as deliberately as necessary, to get to that point.

Thoughtful analysis, not what these groups are about.

They are all about the power.

The only “alternate” energy that’s remotely viable is Nuclear.

All the others are just woafully inadequate as anything other than niche players.

Geothermal and Hydroelectric are valid if your geographically able to have them at your disposals, but in terms of just being able to have power constantly no matter where you are, its Oil baby or nuclear, nothing else comes close.
