Wind Power: From T.Boone to Bust!

Last year, when T. Boone Pickens was promoting his wind power agenda, the left and the left-leaning media couldn't get enough of him. From Al Gore to Barack Obama and the Democratic members of Congress, T. Boone's plan was music to their ears. ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS touted the benefits of his plan. The New York Times, Newsweek, the Washington Post and other lefty printed media spared no ink on the topic. All was glowing and positive for his wind power project. For the lefties, it was the greatest story ever told: An Oil Man Going Green. Who'da ever thought?

So, it's no wonder that hardly anything was even printed or even verbally reported this week when T. Boone announced that he, at the very least, is suspending his wind power plan; if, not, completely abandoning it (See Full Story). You gotta know that the left just hates to report any negative or bad news about America going green. They would prefer to let us all believe that wind power is the only way to go. You know. It will save America money and create all those new jobs. But, here's a self-made billionaire who spent $2 billion in upfront money and can't make a go of it. That should tell us all something.

Because his plan was never really cost effective in the first place and because it was heavily dependent on the deep and dumb pockets of the American taxpayer, the economic downturn has just completely demolished his dreams of making another billion or more in profits for himself. He was hoping that oil would stay high and the Obama Administration would fund all the unfunded and extremely expensive grid requirements that would be needed to make his scheme both work and payoff big-time for him. But the recession changed all that.

Just like my previous report on that EPA Report that contradicted Global Warming and which was buried by Obama and his people, this, too, is another example of how the left hides the truth from Americans in order to promote their ideological agenda.

In the wake of T. Boone's wind power bust, he has now moved on to promoting natural gas to replace gasoline and diesel in cars, trucks, and buses (See Full Story). Apparently, like having a bunch of Brooklyn Bridges to sell us, Mr. Pickens sees big bucks being made by a little company he owns that is called: Clean Energy (See their Website). It just so happens that this company is a leading producer of natural gas in the United States and Canada. They also own most of the natural gas delivery and fueling stations in this country and in Canada. What a coincidence! Now he just needs a "cooperative government" to both mandate and fund natural gas powered cars and refueling stations.

One way or another, Pickens is bound and determined to make some money off all these Democrats who are in charge of government. Wind didn't work; maybe gas will. Let's not forget. The only "green" that Mr. Pickens is really interested in is the green that makes up the color of money.
