Why Democrats Love the Pickens Plan
Why Democrats Love the Pickens Plan
When anyone invests $300 million dollars into promoting alternative energy sources, the Democrats usually take notice. When that person is an oil tycoon, brother of a "Bush Pioneer", and someone who was a major contributor to the 2004 Swift Boat ads, that person gets an invitation from Nancy Pelosi to speak before the House Democratic Caucus. picked by JDRucker 1 year ago

Let's face it, the guy's an oilman. He can make money in way he wants. This plan wouldn't seem so bad coming from Bill Gates or another wealthy person outside of the field, but this feels like a tobacco company backing a plan to make people quit smoking. It seems like something is fishy until you realize they own a ton of stocks in "The Patch" or something else.

Pickens has made his money. He is known for eccentric spending, including donating over $100 million to his alma mater to help them put in better sports facilities. Any other oilman and I would question it. Pickens - he means what he says and he says what he means.

Actually, and I may be wrong about this, but I think the cigarette companies (at least some of them) DO own the companies that make the patch, and the gum, and do the "Truth" ads.

As for this guy... it's an interesting plan. I'd like to hear more about it. Perhaps this guy feels he can make a buck off windmills or getting natural gas (you're right, I'm sure he wants something)... but even so, perhaps it could be good.

I'd like to see the plan discussed and debated in-depth. Good find.
