5. Yeah. And I'm not focused on the negative stuff. But the vision to see the future.
We really do need to get off the oil teat.

6. A scumbag who would drink your milkshake.
But also a man very aware of what was going to be the driving force of a century.

If we want renewable energy ruthless people will have to be behind it...sorry to say.

7. He is a little late at the table. There are plenty of energy companies who have actually done
something on the issue. Until now, Pickens has only been fighting against it (including his financing of the SBVT in 2004 and of the Republican Party in 2000).

So, allow me not to show any admiration for the man. not even in his latest enterprise.

8. He just reminds me of a racist piece of shit, who's upset that some non-caucasians are making money.
