Here's a question for T. Boone Pickens...

he's obviously making the rounds of talk shows, just saw him on CNN.

Until today, I'd never heard anyone ask him about financing the Swift Boat Veterans lies and smears. Blitzer questioned his "plan" being bi-partisan and said "I know in the past you supported Bush over Kerry with the swift boat"....What was T Boone's response???

"that was so long ago, I don't even remember it"....
WTF? some of us can NOT forget it!

Then he got this holier than thou attitude, how his "plan" is better than either of the candidates, blah, blah, blah....

Here's my question I'd love to ask him:

"don't you think it would have been a better use of your money to either NOT finance the swiftboat smears, or get behind Kerry? You are largely responsible for installing 2 oil men in the WH for their second term, NOW you want credit for coming up with a plan to solve the HUGE mess YOU financed?"

hey, he has a web site, maybe I'll visit it today!

But maybe that's just me.

T Boone is a snake and it would be amusing to watch people fawning over him if it wasn't so sick and the issue so serious.

Make that TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

Here's a fun question for old Boone:

"Do you plan to drain the Oglalla Aquifer in order to power/fund your wind farms?"

I live near Amarillo. Folks around here know all about that old bastard and we're doing our best to fight him.

The Olgalla Aquifer covers eight states and he wants to drink that milkshake.

It was sold rather put another 1200 ft. on the well head. That was 10 years ago, we weren't dry unless we were irrigating. The Oglalla has been hurting for awhile.

Sorry about that. Sorry about the farm too. The family farm is an endangered species. :hi:

:kick:

cares about is how much MORE MONEY he can amass for himself! Oh and that is an excellent question! :thumbsup:

With natural gas at triple the price?

I get angry each time I see him or his commercials on TV.

His Slanderous Lies cost each and every one of us--now he's trying to be a hero with his "plan"...

...but is wanting to cash in on subsidies. That said, I'd rather pay subsidies to corrupt producers of wind energy than to corrupt producers of oil.

as much as I hate to see his commercials, I am torn because I believe in wind energy...I just don't want him to benefit from it!

...this guy is making money, they'll jump on the bandwagon and abandon offshore drilling (which represents a tiny fraction of what they'd make with wind). In the end, WE WIN ~ and so do our kids!

They are the real deal and they're trying to keep wind farming honest:

his new energy company will reap the rewards. So in effect you people will pay for his company and then have to pay him to use the electricity, JMO.

But Ed has his private plane, boat, ATV, and pick-up truck to keep fueled. Oh, I'm being unfair, Ed DOES own a Gem car! (Funny he even has time to drive it?)

but haven't caught him for months...is he really backing Pickens?

enough to temporarily ignore the hypocracy.

richer..?? will he charge % of production or "his" artificially hyper inflated rates.. you know he is in on the I.C.E. Black investment Ponzi scheme.. and is directly responsible for all the money looted from us to build his wind farms..

All you have to do is read through it, and you'll see a laundry list of cash grabs — stuff like $200 million for a liquefied natural gas terminal, and $2.5 billion for rebates of up to $50,000 for each natural gas vehicle. All this measure's billions does is benefit Pickens' company to the exclusion of almost all other clean-vehicle fuels and technology.

He makes good commercials, and gets people all worked up; but this scheme of his isn’t going to do anything at all to reduce our dependence on oil imports. It’s really just a scam meant to pull tax subsidies out of the government.

Nothing like a little taxpayer assistance to help get your monopoly on, right?
