Pickens is making a statement that we should stop tossing money at people who hate us, and use our money on domestic natural gas. I think his use of Arabic script in the ads is going to have an effect on people.

Pickens is an idiot who wants taxpayers to fund him.

Although as I noted Wednesday after Pickens announced plans to ditch his massive Texas wind project, that strategy has shifted a bit. Now natural gas is the go-to fuel, with wind taking a backseat.

Yawn. Wake me up when he decides to get serious and push NUCLEAR POWER.

The United States produces a quarter of the earth’s natural gas. It is located all over the country, but the five best sources for the fossil fuel are Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Louisiana.

This is NOT about Arab oil!
It is about a bunch of elites who want to destroy America’s Industry and Economy!

Pickens is a con man on this.

He wants US taxpayers to pay for the easments, taking of land and all the infrastructure for his “middle of no where” windmil projects.

It is only profitable FOR HIM, if we taxpayers foot the bill.

the T Bone Pickens bailout program.

(what else can he do with all those third rate turbines?)

Pickins lost a boatload of money on the windmill thing when he realized he had to get the power from the middle of nowhere to where it could be used.

He is right about natural gas IMHO, but we also need to drill domestically and start building nukes. When the progressives get serious about that we'll know they seriously want to help the country.

Not holding my breath though.

Pickens has stopped urging Americans to buy electricity from his windmills and is no exhorting us to buy his natural gas. What a guy!

The problem with Pickens or any “alternative” is our government.

Dollar wise, it would make a lot of sense to convert my car to run on natural gas HOWEVER, the wonderful EPA has made it nearly impossible as unless a conversion kit for a SPECIFIC vehicle has already been approved you cannot afford the conversion. The approval process is so extensive and expensive that only fleet vehicles can reap the benefits.

Nukes for electric power and natural gas for vehicles. We can do this today if we could somehow get rid of Washington.

It is not a technical issue but the progressives have infiltrated both parties and have deliberately put a monkey wrench into the works.

You want more energy? Get rid of the Department of Energy and the EPA and while you are at it, get rid of the current administration a most of congress.

T Boone is a gas.

Natural Gas.

The less arab oil, the more gas America will buy.

Like I said T Boone is a gas.

Pickens is full of it, and he knows it. Less than a fifth of our imported oil comes from Arabia. Most of it comes from Canada and South America. “Arabs” are a red herring in this case, to sell his wind scheme.

Forget Pickens, he's not in Washington.

The use of LNG is the quickest way for the U.S. to reduce foreign oil imports, reduce foreign debt and increase domestic jobs. The government is one of the largest purchasers of domestic vehicles - all departments of Federal, State and local government. Mandate they all, with a few common sense exceptions, be LNG powered. Detroit would be busier designing and manufacturing new cars and spin-off tech.

It only takes the current Magic Light-Skinned Negro Administration to get behind it. Will they? Of course not.

T-Boone cares about T-Boone and the investments he has.

We wouldn't be dependent on foreign oil if were drilling for the trillion barrels of accessible oil within our own borders.

The oil in the Middle East isn’t evil. The depots who kill men, women, children, and “subhuman” infidel are.

The leadership needs to be terminated as the Nazi menace was. Their system of theocratic rule is a violation of basic freedoms and leads to institutional support and state funding for Islamic terrorism.
