I’ve had a belly full of T. Boone Pickens.

He’s full of natural gas.

ROFLMTO,,,I agree. Yes, there are a few places where CNG would work, and if you have a natural gas pipeline for your home gas, then get a pump put in and have at it. However, if you plan to go on a trip, just what gas station has a CNG pump. It’s like fuel cell technology, it’s a good idea but not implementable until gas stations or fuel cell stations are in all areas of the country, otherwise you are stranded. Imagine trying to escape a hurricane in one of those cars, and no where to fill up. So DRILL, DRILL, DRILL and after we the normal have gas, then maybe you will have enough infrastructure of CNG stations, or FUEL CELL Stations that make it practical to own one of those buzzheads.

Pickens is a supporter of Media Research Center. Additionally:

“T. Boone Pickens—$171.5 million to the T. Boone Pickens Foundation. Pickens, 78, founder of Mesa Petroleum and BP Capital Management in Dallas, gave $160 million to establish the T. Boone Pickens Foundation in Dallas. He has said he plans to give most of his charitable donations through the foundation from now on. The foundation’s giving will be distributed to groups throughout the country and focus primarily on health and medical research, treatment, and services, as well as conservation and wildlife management, corporate health and fitness, education and athletics, and assistance for troubled children. Pickens, who is chairman of the new foundation, has said he hopes to give away 80 percent of his fortune, estimated at $2.7 billion, while he is still alive. He has not yet decided whether to endow the foundation or simply donate money to it every year. He has said, however, that the foundation will eventually give away all of its money to charity at some point after his death.”
