When T Boone Pickens says we need to get off oil, you have to forgive me for being a little suspicious. This guy made 3-4 billion on oil and now he wants us to give it up. Its like the Medellin cartel telling us we should just say no.

So I went and did the one thing you’re not supposed to do when you see a commercial, I did some reading. Now I know that’s un American and when a rich guy tells me something  its like the word of an actor I’m supposed to just take it and run with it but I’m crazy, I’m a rebel, I have free time.

According to an article in Newsweek(left wing commie liberal media source) Pickens is investing 10billion( guess his credits good) to build the largest wind farm in Texas. He also owns the most natural gas pumping stations in America. He owns them through another corporation called Clean Energy Fuels Corp. I mean you can’t just own things in your name, people will figure it out.

Now here’s where it gets tricky. I’m copying this from Newsweek’s  August 18 issue so bear with me. These rich criminal guys are clever.

Five years ago he launched a scheme to buy water rights around Roberts County Texas the same region he plans to build his wind farm and where he owns a 68000 acre ranch. He wanted to pump water from the aquafier to cities downstate. No one bought the water but he won eminent domain for his pipeline and his attorneys created the groundwater supply district which only has 2 voters who happen to be Picken’s ranch hands. Its amazing he won that vote.

Now Pickens has abandoned the water pipeline but his lawyers want to use the water corridor site to create a private power transmission line from his wind farm to the cities and the power grid etc.

Now he says he doesn’t need any more money but he would kind of profit from all this. Its an accident, just a slight residual effect from ole Saint Pickens saving us all.Who can blame him? 3-4 billion doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to. He’s practically retired and how’s a man supposed to get by?

I have no problem with profit, but lets be honest about motive. If we do go to wind energy, He has huge leg up on anyone who would want to get in the business and of course all the politicians/decision makers are already his friends

To all you greenies, stop it. Leave me alone. To the stars driving Prius’s and flying in private jets, shut up. To Al Gore and his giant energy sucking home, shut up. Ahhnold, get in your private jet, fly to one of your Hummers and f**k off.

Ed Begley Jr. is the only one who can legitimately talk green. He was green before it was fashionable and he walks the way he talks. Literally, he does walk, on occasion he rides a bike and rarely drives an electric car. He’s amazing.

All this BS almost makes me regret trading in my Hummer.

If you need me, I’ll be tilting at windmills
