I think it's pretty telling that an old oil man is sounding the alarm about diminishing oil supplies. And $700 billion a year leaving this country and going to foreign nations? The greatest transfer of wealth in human history? Now that's scary! :scared:

2. I don't trust him

He covers over his crapola with the windpower stuff and no mention of fuel cells or other technologies. All this from a goon whose helped thwart any and all alternative energy development for over 30 years.

Who cares though...

Somebody has got to get the ball rolling on new energy... The people with the money to invest in it should
