- greenm1981, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1This is definitely a slice of the total energy pie. It's about time some of these rich billionaires starting returning some of wealth to society, which is what Pickens is doing with this project.
- Enchorito, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3Granted, he wants to reduce our dependence on FOREIGN oil, but he doesn't want to make his slice of the pie any smaller (he is the head of BP after all). Notice he just shifts domestic gas away from electricity so it can go back to cars. But I can't be mad at the guy, it's this kind of self-serving motivation that will actually bring changes to our energy policy.
I know it's an unpopular sentiment, but $4/gallon of gas is the best thing to happen to America to spur innovation in domestic energy production, alternative fuels, and efficient vehicles.

I guess if this had "nuclear" in the title Digg would get behind it faster. - desertDenizen, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1I guess not all rich powerful Texas oilmen are mentally retarded jingoist fascists. If only W's stubbornness had been directed by wiser advisers, the world would be a much different place, much safer today, and on a trajectory leading to a solution rather than bigger problems than ever before.
