Referance ping.
Pickens is out to pick the pockets of tax payers.
Subsidy . per Megawatt hour of power generation, Dept. of energy:
Coal: $0.44. Nuclear: $1.59. Big Oil: $0.25. Hydroelectric: $0.67. WIND: $23.37. SOLAR: $24.34.
Thanks for the hat tip!
So's ah figgured ahm the one to sell a little snake awl"
-----T. Boone Pocket-Pickens
His proposed windfarm, if run at full capacity, will put $665 million a year of taxpayer subsidies into his company's pockets.
.....and then if we have some no-wind days, they'll need natural gas backup....and guess who has that sewed up.
See, “alternative energy” is just a scheme by the Democrats and some of their supporters to grow rich using taxpayer dollars. This is worse than graft. It’s active collusion between Democrat politicians and energy moguls.
This is the same group of hypocrites that complain about Republicans and “Big Oil”. Anyone who believes these Dem politicos represent the public must also believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
This is why the Democrats oppose drilling domestically. They hope to ride the global warming scam to fame and fortune.
Let’s work to make this scam kill her credibility, and that of the Democrats.
“Seems to me I remember Obama quoting this T. Boone Pickens guy”
The strategy of the Democratic Party is to oppose domestic drilling on “global warming” grounds - and spend big on “alternative energy”.
More evidence that Nan doesn't know a hoax when it hits her in the face...
“will put $665 million a year of taxpayer subsidies into his company’s pockets.”
Not if I have anything to say about it.
These people should be ashamed of themselves.
We also knew a long time ago that his wind energy scheme had more to do with "his" water than wind generation.
Just wait until he starts sucking all the water out of the Panhandle and selling it to Dallas.
And this is what the true drive behind the global warming scam is.
Back-room schemers that dupe the public into believing they have noble purposes while shafting taxpayers;and America, in the process.
I am really tired of these Democrats. How did she ever become speaker of the house anyways? Isn’t her constituent base a bunch of Drag Queens? Since when did they start running the country? No wonder why she thinks she can save planet. What a joke.
see, her anti-energy stance in the House isn’t all that irrational at all...sell out the country for $25,000-$50,000...I wonder what the going rate of 30 pieces of silver is...
make that $50,000-$100,000...my bad
Did somebody say, “monorail” ?
bump
Will she resign as Lott and Delay and as other Republicans have.
First, CLNE doesn't have anything to do with wind power or water. CLNE is involved in the business of utilizing natural gas a fuel for fleet vehicles.
As for the so called "water scheme", that is the way water rights work in Texas. Its called "Rule of Capture" and has been upheld by the Texas Supreme Court for a 100 years.
Coal: $0.44. Nuclear: $1.59. Big Oil: $0.25. Hydroelectric: $0.67. WIND: $23.37. SOLAR: $24.34.
Dang. Go a nuber for ethanol?
