T Boone Pick-your-pocket wants the $23.37 per MW Hour subsidy that wind gets. That 4500 MW windmill plant he wants to make? He'll get $945 MILLION a year in Federal subsidies. Not including the fact that the Federal Government will pick up 90% of his initial deployment costs. He'll spend $600 million to make $945 million annually, not including the profit for selling that power.

And Federal and State laws will REQUIRE that his power be purchased first, before any other power, regardless of cost.

He'll get PAID to make power, and he will get GUARANTEED BUYS of everything.

If Pick-your-pocket was honest, and really wanted to help us not buy oil from anywhere, he would be pushing shale oil. We could, in 10 years, produce all 20 million barrels a day of oil that we consume. And we could sustain that rate for 280 YEARS on just the oil shale we have in this country. And do it at $40 per barrel.

Meaning the current 7 million barrels a day we produce could be sold on the open market, bringing $280 million a DAY into the US in petroleum sales.

And we don't have to drill in ANWR, or the coasts, or anywhere else. Just drill and process the oil shale in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado.

Pickens is just about picking your pocket via the force of Government. He's found it cozy and well paying to be in the same role as Al Gore...
