I think he's doing this because he's got a shit pot full of money invested in wind technologies and he wants the government to do for his windmills what they did for Iowa's corn fields.

Personally, I think T Boone Pickens is an asshole. He was the money man behind the swift boat attacks on John Kerry.
When the facts of those ads were challenged, he offered a $1 million reward to anyone who could disprove even a single charge in the ads.
Kerry offered to meet with Pickens and do so, with the million dollars going to veterans' charities. Pickens reneged.
lol what do you mean? The whole plan revolves around us stopping the usage of natural gas for electric and replacing that with wind power, then using the natural gas for autos.
