Am I the only one or does it bug others to have to listen to T. Boone Pickens moralize about wind energy after he made billions off helping to addict us to oil? I liken it to my crack cocaine dealer now wanting to be my rehab counselor and get paid for it. The fact is Pickens invested billions in trying to buy water rights and that investment didn't do so well (at least not yet) and now he has turned his investment dollars to wind power. One thing for sure, regardless of his flowery rheotoric, he is in it for the money whether or not it is really good for America or not.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for the capitalism but what he is trying to do is use political power and influening public opinion in order to distort the free markets to promote wind power over other forms of alternative energy. I just don't like being lectured to about what the public should demand regarding alternative energy sources by someone with a vested financial interest in one form or another.
