$30 a car sounds too low.
hehehe, doncha just luv it when leftists start feed on their own?
There is a bill that is about to come up for vote in Texas Legislature. Not sure all the details but involves switching out state vehicles to operate on natural gas - TBP is right in the middle of it so must involve his having access to taxpayer money.
Why should the Canadians be patient? Obama and the US show no signs of turning back. Ship the oil to China who will burn it in power plants far dirtier than anything in the US. It is not about global warming anyway. It is about Obama hurting the US.
not so in this case... it's T. Boone Pickens...

CNBC has cut way back on their conservative figures...ever since Santelli’s rant from 2009 got famous. And Boone sucks up to Becky Quick. It’s sickening.
Cruz goes a lot further than that....
A lot of their talent went to Fox Biz and Bloomberg.
The three names I cited are the only reaming non-leftists at CNBC, the rest have fled to FoxBiz on their own volition. Becky Quick is the fluff on the Squawk Shows with Joe Kernan who is not a leftist and runs those shows. What’s your problem with TBP?
Not that we should wish him damned, but he already was. And so he spread curses as he went.
Maybe overall profit. The price itself would be higher.
You are talking to an CNBC aficionado here, a long time, who knows exactly how Rush and Drudge came to know of Santelli and his now famous tea party rant.
Quick is fluff, but she’s given weight above and beyond that on the show. She often scowls with disdain at Joe Kernan - and to conservative guests too. Andrew Ross Sorkin was brought in to beef up the liberalism on S Box - and Joe Kernan is the most sensible of the anchor crew, but he’s only conservative for NY - NJ - not really what I’d call a base conservative.
The whole bent is now far more left than it used to be, and Santelli’s rant is the catalyst. It’s like the NBC big wigs never watched it, thought of it as only a tv show for Merrill Lynch and Edward D Jones offices - until the Santelli moment.....then they systematically liberalized all the programming.
As for TBP - they got him to say some good (stupid) things about Obama in 2008. And then this blaming Keystone on “politics” instead of liberalism just strikes me as tepid. He’s old enough and rich enough - his give a damn should be broke - he should call it like it is.
2008 was when TBP was lobbying for fed subsidies for his NatGas transportation fuel interests in CLNE and WPRT. When that fell through he went ahead with building out the fueling infrastructure along the E/W interstate corridor through private financing. TBP is nowhere near what we, here on FR, would call a Conservative. He’s a Bidnessman. He knows the rules and plays by them. To him it’s just politics that’s to blame.
Thanks for the link. Must have missed it. Red State or some other site had a brief blurb on it but haven’t had time to dig into the details.
He’s also a patriot.
That’s probably all accurate. A little like Donald Trump - if doin bidness means climbing into the sack with gubmint, so be it.....not exactly the main street conservative entrepreneur.....
Go save surplus horses.
