But Smokey, wind turbines have never made money. Mr. Pickens owns a ton of GE as well as his BP hedge fund who bought the bones of Enron. They spend more on lobby efforts in D.C. than all of oil combined.

From 2007 to 2010 he talked big on wind getting tons of investors and govt. money. He then scrapped it going back to oil. What a guy! Yes, he is the one who swift boated John Carey to get George the lessor elected.

Now he has moved onto to natural gas and assorted money mills. Follow Pickens and you will follow the pick pockets.

For all of their companies manufacturing they spent about 125 million to lobby D.C. for tax breaks, and incentive money.



They are all like that. Buffet is against the repeal of inheritance tax, buying up businesses from survivors is how he got started. Pickens would be a fool for not jumping on the band wagon. One of the KOCH brothers explained it, they fought against subsidies, but got in to the ethanol business in the end because their competitors did, you don't leave money on the table.
The truth is all these guys are philanthropist and good guys personally. If the gov distorts the markets, they are going to play by that reality.



Kinda like how the new airport porno X-ray scanners are in all the major airports but Dulles, where the Congressmen fly out of. They aren't gonna go through those things. They probably don't go through at the other end, either.
