If he is “pro everything” to get us off foreign oil (nuclear, off-shore drilling , etc.) why the hell is he hanging out with Democrats?
Pickens is gong to pick the low hanging fruit. He’s going to get in the way of the billions of dollars that will be spent trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Wind power still needs a backup conventional power source when the wind doesn’t blow and Pickens isn’t talking about that. He’ll take all the government grants he can, suck in “green venture cash” create a lot of buzz and largely accomplish nothing but he will make himself a lot of money when he unloads this albatross on the stupid public.
Was T.Boone always a lying, cheating crook or has he just now become one?
Does the article mention that Pelosi won’t let us drill here because she an invester in Pickens company?
T. Boone has a plan alright, a plan to put $$$$$$billions into his pockets. No thanks.
Pickens, God love him, is an old school Texas salesman and operator. If you want “green” he’ll sell you green. If you want wind, he’ll sell you wind, want water? Hell, he’ll sell you that too - with a good old slap on the back to go with it.
All he needs is the Gov’t to build for him a new transmission system to transport all this wonderful wind energy, and watch the billions start rolling in. Beautiful! I wish I had his balls!
All he cares about is money and power.
