No use dancing around the hyperbole; may as well just blurt it right out. If that ain't a liberal, I'll kiss your a$$.
“He has decided to spend $58-million of his own money on an ad campaign to promote a new American energy policy — one which would involve massive subsidies to himself as well huge gains for the clean energy industry.”
Bring out your carbon credits!
Just BSPH, BullShee...piled higher. What a big bunch of squeeze, if T.BP said what this idiot quotes, we can be sure that T. Boone is no GENIUS....folow the $$s.
‘Pickens doesn’t deny the existence of global warming, and his folksy but disdainful sneer for those who do deny it’
“I can see what’s happening to the glaciers … It doesn’t take a genius”
How much money does T. Boone Pickens stand to make off this BS.
Boone Pickens sounds like a terrible person. His message is also terrible. But - as the author says - he is probably both realistic and right.
Which glaciers? The ones that are shrinking or the ones that are growing?
Wish him luck on his new venture he's trying to sell. At least it's real in comparision to Gore's CC scam.
Absolutely. And also - the glaciers melted and/or grew in 1100 AD as well, when it was 2 deg C warmer than today.
Does Pickens have a “pragmatic down-to-earth Oil Baron” reaction to those glaciers as well? What makes the modern warm period anthropogenic, but the medieval warm period natural?
This 80 year old gasbag is congress’ new best friend.
But McCain at 71 is too old????
Personally ground up Caribou makes great Summer Sausage.
How is his message terrible? Or do you mean in a truth hurts way? Because it is flat out idiotic of us to do whatever is necessary to stop sending money to the Middle East.
He has said he is for the “all of the above” approach.
Yawn. This writer knows nothing about what he is talking about, nor about T. Boone, and he lost all credibility with the description of the “Swift Boat SMEAR Campaign”. What a fool. For Boone, it isn’t as much about environmentalism, but independence from the crooks who control us and how to make money at it.
ah been an ol man makin’ $ all ma life.
nows, ahs a win’ man makin’ $, an’ ahs green.
He is not interested in an “energy Policy”. This is a thinly disguised attempt to hump his wind power scheme.
T. Boone had a very plausible scheme in the ‘70s. Residential natural gas pumps, hooked up to your existing gas supply. At the time, govt could not figure out a way to collect the road tax, but Oregon has solved that with the electric cars, collecting tax on the mileage reported each year at license renewal. That must be a shock to Prius owners to pay 45-46 cents on 12000 miles($5400-5520).
They would recharge overnight at home and get you 80-100 miles the next day. They were hybrids since they burned CNG and gasoline on demand. The same idea would work today but electrical generation would have to be converted to coal, gasified, liquefied, or lump(hauled by rail). That would free up enormous amts of natural gas to be used in automobiles.
T. Boone reminds me a lot of Ross Perot.
‘Nuff said.
He has said he is for the “all of the above” approach.
Comment:
Save your breath cause there are some who have a private agenda against conservatism and saving America.
When I see these anti Boone posts I cringe to think these folks may be trolls in disguise.
I’m with you.
What?!?1? I'm not a big Pickens fans but I viewed what he did as backing the Swift Boat Veterans by offering up his own money ($1 million) to those who claimed they were lying to put up or shut up.
John Kerry accepts Boone Pickens' Swift Boat challenge
