this is what Mike Gravel was talking about only difference is he proposed that WE as Americans pay for it so that We as Americans would get to keep the profits. Here Pickens is saying He'll invest in it and He'll reep the rewards. instead of that money staying in our national treasury. Stupid ass americans just want to sit on their thumbs and imagine that peak oil isn't real or that global warming isn't that serious while australia and californias lakes are already drying up. while the ice caps keep melting while the hurricane season gets more ferocious and here Pickens is the guy talking about geting rich off of it and we all treat him like a saint when Mike went on tv and explained how we could ALL get rich off of them.
