concerning energy.

“just heard t boone pickens on bill handel am 640, los angeles”
T Loon(nose) Pickens is an opportunist trying to cash in on natural gas. The sorry sob is out for himself period. He’s real old which is a good thing, he’ll be gone soon
Actually Antonio Villaraigosa is a mexican racist. He should have been kicked out of office for his closed door meetings with mexican president Felipe De Jesus Calderon Hinojosa. The mayor is also a member of la raza, an extremely virulent mexican racist cult.
T Boone Pickens is famous for thinking big. He founded his Texan oil company, Mesa Petroleum, in 1956 with just $2,500 in the bank. After a string of audacious takeovers he turned it into an independent empire that challenged the big oil companies, and today he is worth $3bn.
Now this straight-talking Southerner is launching the biggest and most audacious project of his career. This month he will make the first down payment on 500 wind turbines at a cost of $2m each. The order is the first material step towards his goal of building the world's largest wind farm.
Over the next four years he intends to erect 2,700 turbines across 200,000 acres of the Texan panhandle. The scheme is five times bigger than the world's current record-holding wind farm and when finished will supply 4,000 megawatts of electricity - enough to power about one million homes.
"Don't get the idea that I've turned green," Pickens tells the Guardian in the Dallas offices of his new venture Mesa Power. "My business is making money, and I think this is going to make a lot of money."
