To: The Spirit Of Allegiance
Interestingly enough I had dinner with some folks familiar with T. Boone Pickens new venture. They claim he has never lost money, but I couldn't get an answer from them what products he backed that were successful.

Evidently part of this Clean Energy Fuels Corporation is the use of methane gas which is naturally generated from landfills. If this does prove to be an alternate source of energy, and that in my mind is a huge IF, how is the gas refined and where do we “fill-up”?

If Madame Speaker is an investor Congress should investigate her motives. Seems like a huge conflict of interest, which I guess the Republicans just don't want to take on!

I'm surprised the National Enquirer isn't all over this. After all, I don't think Hillary and Nancy do “lunch” very often.

I imagine that if they are using the methane, they will burn it in a “Gas” engine/generator converted for Methane use.

The methane is not processed, just burnt. It is a dirty fuel and the engines require constant maintenance.

Here is an article on one of our competitors:
