McCain has a lot to answer for, but Obama hasn''t stooped to that level. You can%u2019t call yourself patriot while voting for criminals.
However, it''s not a surprise that the mainstream, predominantly liberal media would hold a grudge against Pickens and his role in Kerry loosing to Bush in 2004. Notice how warmly Kerry greeted Rose in the footage above, completely ignorming Pickens. This is the measure of Kerry the man, and CBS news.
Thank you Mr Pickens. Even if your idea is too early to be accepted as a possible solution now, the idea has been stated & will be implemented in the future. Where can I invest?
I was disturbed that the story on 60 Minutes, was almost entirely about "Pickens'' profit motive." Mr. Pickens is 80 years old. He is investing almost his entire net worth in BUILDING this system. He will be long gone LONG before this investment even begins to show a profit.
The story didn''t even touch on what the plan is, or what its basis is. That is, replace much of heavy transportation''s use of oil, with natural gas. This is OLD technology---virtually any standard gas or diesel engine can be easily converted, and still use gas or diesel simply by turning a valve. I have driven propane-powered (natural gas) fork lifts for years--the reason is that the propane powered vehicles can be used INDOORS. E.G., they run much cleaner.
Natural gas will be cleaner, but more importantly, it will cut into the use and import of oil. And it gives us TIME to develop the exotic power methods what will eventually be our real, final answer.
