PickensPlan

I get it now. First I was very impressed with the fact that someone with power and money finally got it. Now I understand, it's all about power and money. T. Boone not only doesn't want to lose money overseas, he wants to be justly rewarded for an investment in the future.

This may not all be bad. It's the American way, after all. We are not much of a democracy or a republic any more, but we are a darned good capitalist society. What we ought to get an explanation of is what is in it for the non-billionaires among us.

Anyone have any ideas?

Uh, lower fuel prices, less dependence on our enemies controlling necessary commodities relative to our national security, more money staying in America to fuel our own economy. I thought of those in about 10 seconds so I'm sure there are more.
We get to keep the American Way of Life for a while longer anyway. ;-)
You know, I bet the same points were brought up about the guys that came up with the idea for the trans-continental railroad, but good thing it still happened huh???
JOBS and everything else the other guys said. Money results when something works. Boone is 80 years old. He already made his fortune. He's not in this for the money. Watch his videos on the front page.

This is something that will save our country.
John, I'll assist you on this one.

I like the way you begin, mind if I borrow?

Uh,

How about leaving our children a place they can live in.

Bill, it's all well and good if you thinks this about power and money. Fine, I don't care. I'm glad you're here.
T Boone doesn't want to lose money overseas? Are you nutz? YOU are losing money overeseas with every tank of gas you buy! We have always been a capitalist society you dunce! What is in it for you? Cheaper energy, more better paying jobs....here in america for a change. No harm to the environment source of electricity. Perhaps a job for you even and an education for your children which in this case would be helpful!
How about cheap energy ? Is that enough for you ?

Here is an example, Bill Gates paved the way for cheap computers, with his vision.

Give me capitalism or give me death !
My wife made a suggestion the other night about wanting to help out with the future of our country. Though at this time we don't have the financial backing like Mr. Pickens we still wanted to be able to help in some way. Her suggestion was to have a public offering, not so much for us to make money but to be able to be involved in this project no matter how much we have. This is a great time and a great project for the country to come together. We truly believe their are more Americans out their who would like to be a part of this by giving or buying into a worthy cause. God Bless America
Why is there no discussion about exploiting the vast coal reserves in this country? Same question for developing nuclear energy. Both these alternatives would put a lot of people back to work, France is exporting electrical energy. I spent 13 years in the gas industry and we had these same disscussions 38 years ago (nothing has really changed)
boone will get the biggest punch from all this but he should!! he's the one WILLING to DO instead of sit!!!!! we'll all win in the end though....the economy will start to come back because we'll have something to believe in again and our 401k's will start to florish again.............YEH!!!!!!!!
At Mr. Pickens age he has more money than he could ever spent in 10 life times . Sure he will make money . He wants to help protect this country . He wants to help our children . He is a statesman he will be a candiate for Nobel Prize he wants to leave this would knowing he made a differance .
What we get is the satisfaction that OPEC can eat sand!
