I don’t know but when an Oilman tells me that we can’t drill our way out of this mess I listen.

He's 80+ yrs old. I met the man some 15 yrs ago... & I assure you he's an honorable & extremely intelligent man.
He doesn't need the money, he knows he can't take it to the grave.

I honestly believe he's trying to do the right thing for the country's future.

I'd question the efficacy of 'Wind Power', not the Man.

“I’d question the efficacy of ‘Wind Power’, not the Man.”

Thanks for saying it. This article is about “Swiftboating” as the MSM likes to refer to the trashing of someone or something.

Wind power relies on the wind. In some parts of the country it is a great Idea. In others it’s not. As for the reliability of the generators themselves. I’m not so sure they require more upkeep than say Boilers, Pumps etc... at a Nuke, Coal or Gas plant.

Thats the real question for some.

Ditto bbb.

Note, T. Boone is Republican. He advertises on the most valuable AM radio program. His spiel is "all availabe energy in the U.S.A. Texas just happens to be subsidizing wind right now.

He is promoting McCain's energy program, the Republican program.

This is as good a campaign "in kind" contribution as a 527. And he might make a buck on the side.

Remember, he helped finance the Swift Boaters.
