My only point was Pickens is making a fortune on the oil sands projects but wants to spend his money lobbying congress to help him get his turbines and transmission lines instead of his own cash. If he wants to help and honestly believes turbines are the answer then let him negotiate contracts with the landowners, invest his own money, and see if he’s right. There are three companies bidding for the contracts for “wind rights” currently and he does have the best contract but he also has a couple of guys running around threatening landowners with lawsuits if they don’t allow the surveying to take place. I personally know people who’ve been threatened with this eminent domain stuff. People who’ve owned their land for over 100 years and continue to pay their property taxes now have someone lobbying their government to seize their property. Maybe I could have clarified better in my earlier post.
Thanks-
