According to the magazine, Pickens' company Mesa Power has invested $2 billion in a Texas panhandle wind farm. But Pickens, chairman and founder of BP Capital Management, also regularly points out he doesn't need the money. One of Pickens' companies also owns about 90 of the roughly 500 publicly available natural gas stations with another of his companies, Clean Energy. <quoted text> copy and paste ...

Tank Murdoch opposes the Picken's Plan because he may have some financial gain if implemented. I'll bet Tank would have no problem if we lease the entire Eastern seaboard to Boone Pickens to drill and prosper; but have the guy make a few bucks on clean energy and a practical and partial solution to imported oil and Tank's red flags go up. Why does Tank hate America and our free enterprise system?

Ever heard of the vast subsidies for this technology? That is not a free market. Let good ole T-Boone purchase and build up his windpower. Just leave our checkbooks out of it. We should have learned from the ethonal debacle. Please read up on free markets vs. Gov't mandates. Carry on!

At least you can realize ethanol hasn't been the root cause of high food prices. Also, ethanol does not drive the price of oil up. Ethanol should and does decrease the amount of oil used for gasoline.

All idiots can see that!

....it's great to see that (so many) people see the ethanol industry for what it is...Just like my Murphy's law calender says:"every American crusade,winds up as a racket".I too,thought ethanol was the greatest thing there was,some years ago.But when you look at the energy it takes to make it,the huge subsidies the industry takes,and,most maddening to me,is the fact that (after you and I have already paid subsidies to these ethanol producers),they (then) do the same thing as the oil companies do.....charge WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR...so,the only difference is,instead of being "robbed" by people over in the Middle East (for oil),now we're being "robbed" by people in our own back yards...THE ETHANOL INDUSTRY!

After we paid billions in subsidies to develop the infrastructure, they charge us WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR!!! The same with the airline industry, the oil ocmpanies, the auto industry ... why it's rampant in this country.!!!

Better rule-don't use 20-30% of our food for fuel and subsidize it so it can literally exist. let it make it on its own.

The way I see it is that the federal government is paying big oil to use thier distribution infrastructure.
