What has this guy "innovated" ?
He wanted to build a wind farm, but backed out when the real coast bacame apparent.
What innovation?
” What innovation? “
Mr. Pickens is known for his ever-more innovative schemes to scoop more and more money from the Public Trough....
T. Bone was pretty innovative the way he bribed Texas Legislators to form municipal water districts in order to use eminent domain to seize property for power line corridors and water rights to the Ogalalla Aquifer from Texas land owners. T. Bone is a top shelf snake oil salesman......
He innovated the hostile take-over of viable businesses that could be butchered and sold for big profits for him and his band of weasels.
He raped Gulf Oil to get at the money in its Pension Fund. Want to know why businesses stopped fully funding their pensions?
T Boone Pickens.
He didn’t back out because of costs - he backed out because the state of Texas told him on no uncertain terms that ownership of a power generating operation did not in any way entitle him to input on the setup and operation of the power distribution network.
Pickens had hoped to be a power behind the scenes in Texas electrical utilities, and sell “Green energy” to California.
The state informen him that the windfarm power was going to be used in state.
He had a hissy fit and stormed out.
I read his wind farm idea as merely a way to cash in on gvt money anyway.
