You've probably seen the T.Boone Pickens's Wind Farm ads? There seems to be something rotten in Denmark (or the Texas PanHandle). Naturally- "Save the Planet" Pelosi is involved with her greedy fingers in the pie - It never ceases to amaze me that big politicians like Pelosi will sell the country down the river just so they can personally profit for relatively peanuts, compared to what either the state or the nation will have to invest in a program - just so they can make their piddly profit. In this case - $5 Billion in Cal. State Funds and $5 Billion in Federal Funds -
No wonder McCain has taken as his campaign slogan - "Country First" before Self or some such. It seems a lot of our politicians are doing just the opposite and putting themselves first, either to personally profit or to be re-elected. Maybe we will get the ex-energy regulator - Gov. Sarah Palin on Pelosi/T Boone's case! Wouldn't that be something if she made this giant rip-off one of the cornerstones of their campaign? - they should!
In my research - I found a couple versions of the story - so included both - each has some details the other doesn't have. But it's a shame that our main stream media doesn't cover these sorts of scams, nay, even profit from them, selling them TV ads, like the ones that T Boone Pickens has flooded the TV with. Shame! -gk
