About That Pelosi, Pickens Plan To Pick Our Pocket

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Apparently there's a financial reason to Nancy's madness over the drilling issue and her being a proponent of the Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens' "Pickens Plan" to move our nation from foreign oil dependence to domestically produced wind power and natural gas fuel for automobiles. The plan that's touted as a cleaner, more eco-friendly alternative to our current reliance on coal power and gasoline., is a big time money maker for its investors. It's quite an interesting and profitable scheme. Madam Speaker is clearly a sleaze bag.

While Pickens deserves credit for coming up with a creative plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil (and Pelosi deserves condemnation for letting her personal agenda get in the way of what's right for America), America can't let itself be fooled into thinking that drilling here and drilling now isn't desperately needed for the foreseeable future. Developing alternative energy is going to not only take a long time, but the then necessary development of the infrastructure and conversion to such energy will take even longer. We are not going to abandon gas and oil any time soon, no matter what the loudest advocates of renewable energy sources insist. As a writer noted at Fosters.com, a sane energy policy will require tuning in to a program of multiple sources. Fossil fuels -- developed and yet to be developed -- wind power nearing a scope envisioned by T. Boone Pickens, solar power, nuclear power, biomass, geothermal power and sources we haven't thought of yet are in our future - as in waaay in our future.
