Pickens was and is a tool. He didn’t lose anything, he just didn’t make the billions that he thought he’d make by making a deal with the devil. I wish he’d of lost “his ass”, cause he sure sucked up to the government and the environ-wackos in order to catch some money they were throwing out the window.
This is the same T Bone Pickens who tried to cheat ranchers out of their water rights in the TX Panhandle so he could sell it to the Ft.Worth/Dallas Metroplex.
He is never to be trusted when there is a buck to be made.
Except nat gas vehicles do make sense. An MCF of natural gas sells for $3.25 and has the equivalent of 7.3 gallons of gasoline, which costs $30 at the pump. A huge multiple, and the conversion on a pickup truck takes 4 hours! This is happening, hopefully government gets out of the way.
More jobs in America, less money going to terrorist nations, and more take home pay for our citizens. You would think the $#$@ing idiot Democrats would be all over this - but no! Obama would rather see our treasure going to former colonies, as he bows in front of Arab sultans. Obama will bleed this nation white, through the issuance of sick debt and ransacking the treasury. Thousands more can be employed in energy, with high paying jobs, and he prevented that from happening.
He wants to ‘equalize’ the world and diminish America. If you revisit the lectures of Jeremiah White, Bill Ayers, Edward Said, Frank Marshall - it will all be there.
T-Bone Pickens is a wealthy fool like Buffet.
The money stays with us. He also had to pay for research, surveys and for people to do all the paperwork involved. Yeah, he lost some money there.
By the way, did you know that windmills kill more than birds? They wipe out bats too. The bats can miss the blades easily, but the turbulence crushes their lungs and snuff them out. Bats are important due to the large numbers of insects (like mosquitoes) they eat.
