T. Boone Pickens: We have AT LEAST 2000 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas
.
T. Boone Pickens wonders why we are not trying to tap our MASSIVE Natural Gas extravaganza.
T. Boone says we have "AT LEAST" '2000 Trillion Cubic Feet' of Clean Burning Natural Gas under our Nation that we are too Stupid to Tap into and use.
T. Boone says this '2000 Trillion Cubic Feet of Clean Burning Natural Gas' makes us BY FAR, the Largest Holder of Natural Gas Reserves on the Planet.
T. Boone asks "Why Are We the Largest Importer of Natural Gas, when we Own the Largest Lions Share on Earth" ????
T. Boone says we can move into massive Natural Gas switch over starting right now. Switch 18 Wheelers from Diesel to Natural Gas, Cars of all Flavors, ANYTHING running off Gasoline and Diesel can either be Converted or Switched out totally.
T. Boone says that Clean Burning Natural Gas is so CHEAP, that it is almost Ridicules and we have so much of it that we know of, that just with today's Technology, we have well enough to take us over 100 Real Time Years in Usage.
Sarah Palin is constantly pushing for a Natural Gas Pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48, but since she is this "Stupid, Ignorant, Barbie of a Woman", this is just Fluff and Fodder from a Know Nothing Female right ???
T. Boone knows what he is talking about and wonders where the Legislation and the Support is for Tapping Our Own Natural Gas Vaults and Stop wasting precious dollars Buying, Importing, and Using Gasoline/Diesel from Foreign Tyrannical Monarchies is at ....
T. Boone says it looks better in Washington than it ever has - - but hey people, that doesn't raise my shorts for me because we've heard it all before.
Do YOU also wonder along with T. Boone ????
Kinda Sorta Amazing isn't it ???
Like I said, I watched Orange County Choppers build a Totally Natural Gas Powered Motor Cycle - - so why are we still Chained to the Old OPEC Gang like Starving Begging Dogs ????

Screw T Boone Pickens. Pull back the curtain and you'll see that he's only pimping this because it's going to make him filthy rich-er. If he weren't trying to hide it behind "I'm trying to save the planet" I'd buy it.

RE: T. Boone Pickens: We have AT LEAST 2000 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas
I, for the life of me, cannot figure why we are spending our treasure to buy foreign oil, when we have the world's largest reserves right under our country. Can someone explain why we are not all driving compressed NG cars, and especially large trucks.
Reb, 2000 Trillion, I sure T Boone does not own all of it. So you would rather the shiek get rich.

Well which way do you want it Rebel?
Are the captains of industry the ones to push the alt-energy agenda, or will it be govco?
He also wanted to do that wind farm, and it got put on hold because of feasibility.
Commie that I am, I generally approve of what he's trying to do.
NIMBY is a big deal on windpower. I wonder about the NG?
{edit] - national security/indepedence - do you hold back on your own resources as emergency if the world goes dry/to hell? Could we convert our military vehicles to NG?

I SUPPORT tapping into our natural gas. Hell, I support tapping into every natual resource we have and building a 1000' memorial in Savannah of 4 fingers and a thumb with the middle pointing towards the middle east. I just don't like this faux concern Pickens is expressing.

It is possible to be a money grubbing industry captain and have genuine concerns over environmentalism and energy independence. Rare, but possible.
PS - I like the memorial idea. Can we build one here too?

Yeah I take it all with a Grain of Salt and is why I said, "This don't raise my shorts because we've heard it all before".
I don't trust any of these characters, yet this old codger knows what he is talking about when it comes to how much of which Petroleum Product we have under our feet.
And he has an Inside to Washington as well.
Oh we all know this will set his Kingdom on High, but if it gets us off Saudi Oil and it Cheaper than what is going on now and is cleaner, what has been holding us back ??
Is it 'Kick Backs, Embezzlement, Fraud, Payolla ... some one that has the power to Switch Us Over has to be making some Back Door Dollars like a Mad Man to not Switch us away from Middle Eastern Rude Crude.
I just hope Boone running his head about it will force them to play ball.
We need a break.

T. Boone, the same Bozo that is trying to give away the windmills he ordered for the windmill farm that has proven to be infeasible?

The sonofabitch was born May 22, 1928, He's 81 fuckingyearsold. How much longer does he have? How many 81 year olds still have their head in the game? He built the largest independent oil company in the United States, He is an entrepreneur to the nth degree, An environmentalist as well. Besides that he is an OSU man, how bad is all that. A republican.
It's up to you but maybe you could give thefucker a break.

RE: T. Boone Pickens: We have AT LEAST 2000 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas
Everything about ol' T Boone is rarely what it seems. So much of what he does is seemingly misdirection - that wind farm was about water rights and mineral rights, not giant windmills.
I wonder what his NG claim is really about....

T Boone openly says he would make $$$$ if we switched our energy policy saw him on 60 monutes last year . T Boone is pretty easy to read, he wants to make BILLIONS and he has a reasonable plan. Don't know if it is all he says it is ,but sounds good.
In meantime we have an energy problem and our POLITICAL CLASS refuses to open up Alaska for drilling, refuses to eliminate the legal nightmare against nuclear energy and puts food in our gas tanks (ethanol) . T Boone does not have the balls to sell that idiocy only a congressman could do that.

Well, the old geezer and others have something we need so why not tap into it? And who do you dislike more, him or some Saudi prick who takes our money and hands it to AQ? As for him making bank, well, aint that the republican way?
