5. So what is wrong with that?
If someone comes up with a good idea and they make a bunch of money from that I say good for them. In this case I am all for utilizing our Natural Gas reserves and taxing the heck out of them. We have to begin somewhere and this is acceptable as a beginning..

3. He has near monopoly on Natural Gas. Wants gov't subsidies for wind power
to support his wind power business.

He never saw a government subsidy he could use for profit that he didn't like.

He's a bullsh*****er.

It's all about money from you and for himself.

6. and that 'wind corridor' is sitting on US' largest aquifer. We'll subsidize a guy making billions
as he's also charging up the wazoo during the right around the corner water shortage.

As Gorbachev said in 2005 - the water wars will soon DWARF the oil wars.

4. His angle is to make money by speculating that CNG prices will rise due to demand..
fueled by his touchy-feely commercials.

Meanwhile all of us that use Natural Gas for heating our homes will be paying out the ass as the price rises. It's all part of T. Boone's plan to rape as many Americans as possible under the guise of "alternative energy".

I'll never understand why any Democrat trusts him, he's a freaking swift boat liar for gawd's sake.
