4. He's not in it "for the country". He's got a scam going. You pay and he profits.

5. he's saying all the right things because he sees the writing on the wall
why come out now? Why not 2 years ago? Or 4? Or 8? Or 10 years ago? We have known about the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions for a long time. This is about money. He's timed it just right, at the cross-roads of insane oil prices and the mortgage fiasco.

He's an opportunistic leech who is sucking us dry, just doing it a bit different.

One thing I do appreciate about Pickens is his role in rescuing abandoned pets in the wake of Katrina; for that, I will always be grateful to him and his wife.

2. I think we've listened to oil-men long enough. They have the blood of 10s of thousand on their hands
what the FUCK else do they want from us.
