- Found that Oil companies have entrenched roots in the economy of the United States and will fight viciously for interest and influence in government. The value of oil becomes in fact tied to the value of U.S. It will take herculean effort to push any viable Alternative Energy Solution in the United States.

Why Talk Show, roll up and start the production lines
I think everyone appreciate the drive and energy of Mr. Pickens. Don’t care about the money part, but I am sure anyone will wish to have that intellect and vitality at his age. The Pickens spirit is truly the stuff that America is made out of, what made this country so great. He is unique in that he still operates the old the fashion American way, he invest in real assets and resources not fly high, fiat derivatives.
But it really surprise me that he is spending Millions of Dollars on this camp… Continue

But it really surprise me that he is spending Millions of Dollars on this campaign, running one that is almost as intense as running for Senate, yet all it is about, is his GAS business basically. I understand he is an oil and gas man all his life. But at his age, Mr. Pickens really needs to start working on something much bigger and promising for the future of America and Young Americans than a gas field reserves. There are Ford motor company, Hughes aircrafts and even McDonalds, hundreds of globally known names of real American pioneers that left an indelible mark on the World, not just the nation, more than a hundred years later, still famed, their real name and something about them is known the world’s over. They even made highly rated movies about some. Even Bugsy Siegel is credited for his initiative. I am sure T. Boone Pickens is as capable as the others and that is when I have to say that this campaign is either a miss-direction or plain waste of times.
Why not find 30-50 Alternative energy developers, having promising potentials and fund them to a market ready position. GAS is still a finite resource and once become in use, the demand will cause prices to escalate and Americans are back to the Start line. Why not invest in alternative technologies that are not finite, but rely on elements that are free and will be with us for as long there is life on earth. Air, Water, Fire. There are many technologies than have already been Patented, developed and suppressed that are waiting for someone like Pickens to help seed the startup company. With proper management and marketing campaign, rather than a purely political one, these new enterprises will take over the fight for change.
Relying on changing the established and well entrenched Political and Social settings or on the complacent masses to organize, is fruitless effort that will require massive resources, at the end will show negligible results. But offering a product that is ready to use now, a customer can walk to Home Depot and pick up a generator running on Compressed air for $900, unpack it, plug it and he is a free man, that sells, people will not just talk about it, they will go out and swipe the card to get it, use it. That is how industrial revolution is made, not by jabbing and getting old ladies out of Church and into Pickens talk shows, so she can mail out fliers. Westinghouse, Edison, Ford, Vanderbilt, Marconi and hundreds others did not hit the road for town hall meetings and talk shows, they paid inventors, built a production lines and sold products that people showed up, paid for it and spoke about it to friends and family, soon it is a must have in every home in America.
There is no way that you can reliably save 20% of oil consumption using wind power, it is cost prohibitive to set up these windmills farms, so the PickensPlan promotion of windmills to save on oil consumption will falter not on the basis of Technology or oil saving percentages but on startup cost and ROI limitations, as the rates are heavily regulated. To change the game rule, it will require the establishment and maintenance of far larger grass root NGO than the Republican and Dem parties combined. It is a herculean effort. Although never doubt the American spirit, KFC founder a prime example.
Once the demand for natural gas driven vehicle is up and running, the price will skyrocket way above regular gasoline prices and drivers will become hostage, just as Diesel fuel (D2) now selling in some places a whole Dollar higher per gallon than Premium Gasoline selling for. That is exactly what happened to the Natural Gas fired power generators as well couple years after the demand started up, generators became hostage to Enron.
Well Boone, next time I want to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to the Bedouin of Arabia, you are the right man, will call you for the sales pitch. But next time you want to invest in alternative energy generation, check out Orontes Compressed Air technology. More than 40,000 electric cars driven by compressed air all over the world.
