		<description>If there was some magical energy source that could replace oil some country would be using it, the fact is there is nothing that comes close to the energy content at the price (even at over $4 a gallon). All &quot;alternatives&quot; have to be heavily subsidized to come close to competing. 

T. Boone Pickens most certainly is NOT right. Wind Energy is a joke and we can drill our way out of this...

		<description>From instapundit, Corsair, what happens when subsidies are given. Just like cable franchises, it&#039;s a boondoggle.  I don&#039;t blame Kennedy for not wanting a wind farm in his neighborhood.  Solar, yes. Wind, no.

		<description>For all their hatred of rich people, the Democrats are trying to turn a billionaire into a trillionaire using my tax dollars(subsidies and infrastructure).   If he wants to invest in wind power, more power to him, but don&#039;t force me to pay for his trillions.   As for the rest of his ideas, they do make sense.
   A side question.   Why is it that most inventions come about without subsidies, but &quot;alternative energy solutions&quot; need all these subsidies to make them work?</description>

So for all the money [trillions] that’s to be made in the production of energy; you’re saying there’s also, or will be [trillions] to me made in water.

You may have something there; the Saudis can’t drink their oil. In Dubai they spend billions to desalinate seawater.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Be carefull, before you know it, people around here will be declaring that you don’t believe there is any difference between the US and Russia.

MarkTheGreat on August 18, 2008 at 1:55 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The &quot;keto decision&quot; will let Pickens sieze private land and, maybe more importantly, water rights from the middle of the country to the Pacific and the Atlantic.  Private property will have to be taken via eminent domain to get the power from the wind units in the middle of the US, out to the coasts. But, it&#039;s not really about wind power.  It&#039;s about using this eco &quot;front&quot; to sieze land. This guy is trying to be the John D. Rockefeller of water.</description>

		<description>The Dems have very &quot;selective hearing&quot;.  Pickens has proposed a very reasonable approach to energy (with a bit too much stress on wind power because he has a financial interest).  In spite of that he is advocating a basically balanced effort in all areas which is what we should be doing.</description>

		<description>Anyone notice the strong similarities to Elvis &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PwIsDMrG7U&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hounddog&lt;/a&gt;. Hope they aren&#039;t pulling the same thing the McCain campaign pulled cause this is too effective of an ad to be lost.</description>

		<description>T. Boone Pickens, yes sirree Boone!

Says “this is one pickle we can’t drill our way out of.”
I subscribe to his news letter, so can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pickensplan.com/?c=Google&amp;a=Pickens-Keywords&amp;k=boone+pickens+news&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;you&lt;/a&gt;.

Pragmatism is his gambit and a diversified approach to filling our continuing need for additional energy is his hallmark.

A combination of wind, solar, geothermal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear development is the type of diversified, hybrid, approach that is both necessary and required for our energy independence.</description>

Be carefull, before you know it, people around here will be declaring that you don&#039;t believe there is any difference between the US and Russia.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Put the derricks 40 miles out and paint them blue. Nobody onshore will ever see them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

40 miles out, nobody will see the, whatever color their painted.  Beyond being too small to see at 40 miles, their over the horizon anyway.</description>

		<description>There is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.necn.com/Boston/SciTech/NH-couple-erects-wind-turbine-to-power-home/1219014074.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;story here &lt;/a&gt; from my neck of the woods about a couple putting up their own wind mill to generate their own power. Now I don&#039;t know how much electricity they use (they clearly feel guilty about using any anyways) but costing near $100,000, one can buy an awful lot of traditional power (from our nuke plant and wood burning and nat. gas power plants). Not to mention, they are up there in age (I would guess late 60&#039;s early 70&#039;s), and clearly won&#039;t see a return on their &quot;investment&quot;.</description>

		<description>flutejpl,

The reason Pickens is putting out all these ads is because their is a huge subsidy on wind power that is about to expire.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;California just approved using just over 12 square miles to build a solar facility to generate at best 800 MW. A single reactor will generate just over 1000 WM and are a bit smaller than 12 quare miles.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Who cares how much space is used by a solar plant?  Are you worried about the fate of the desert flea?  Mining coal for power is far worse if you&#039;re worried about the enviornment.

By the way, the 800 MW plant is under development by a major utility PG&amp;E, not a state government.</description>

		<description>Neither party listening to Pickens.  Both have their favorite energy flavor, and neither side wants to accommodate the other.  

Pickens does support drilling expansion but also wants a national energy policy that favors alternative energy.  If you look at US military spending in the gulf region, it&#039;s clear that oil costs more than what consumers pay at the pump.  Neither party is behind this direction.  It&#039;s too easy to get the party lackeys fired up by pointing fingers across the aisle.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcW_Ygs6hm0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Pickens goes nuclear&lt;/a&gt;.

Seriously though, the Dems are nuts to put any trust in that guy.  He wants to get pork for his wind and gas interests, and he wants to drill too.  This doesn&#039;t help them at all, but then again, I don&#039;t think anything can help them besides reversing course.</description>

Perhaps Pickens, being an olde oil man; could convince some of the oil companies to let him use some of those 68,000,000, acres they haven’t seen fit to drill on as wind generator sites?</description>
