“More Pickens Boldness”

Share

From an article on the Huffington Post by Marguerite Manteau-Rao:

T. Boone Pickens is the first to present us with a real plan, big enough to capture our imagination. You may not entirely agree with his plan or his political views, but there is no denying the power of his can do attitude, with the follow up to prove it. I went back and listened to Pickens’ introductory video once more. No small steps here. It doesn’t hurt either that Mr. Pickens is a legendary figure of American business. Finally, the climate solution has a face, that’s bigger than life, and that Americans can relate to. A man who, not unlike Obama, has started a movement, with enough momentum to sustain itself. And a narrative that appeals to Americans’ patriotism, with its focus on ‘energy independence’. Simple words, big goals, actions already in place. And the confidence that this will get done, that it has already started.

Will the next T. Boone Pickens, please step forward? We need more men and women like him.

Buy Made in the USA products! The trade deficit is reflected in the savings rate nearly exactly. The more products the US imports the less we save. This correlations has been known to exist by economists for years. These economists also say that the US savings is held by the foreign producer to be returned to the US in the future Well the future is Now! Every thing you buy must be Made in the USA! You must buy it, what ever it is. If it is not made in the USA don't buy it, buy something else instead. This holds true for T. Boone Pickins! He should not import his windmills, as he does! TBP gets a near term gain importing wind mills at the US's long term expense in decreased savings rates. TBP must set up a manufacturing facility for windmills here in the US and install off that production line only. TBP is therefore also guilty of exporting wealth by buying foreign products is just like buying foreign oil. TBP changed his mind on drilling, he can change his mind on importing wind mills for the good of US economy. I heard that a wind mill manufacturing facility is being built in Colorado (no cite). TBP must negotiate a delivery schedule change with his buyers of electricity. So that all the wind mills are produced right here in the USA and the US is independent of that foreign supplier of energy. It is called vertical integration. TBP, set up Vertically integrated US companies to build those wind farms, Now! to also see chart and read more comments on the push pickens plan

Boone. He has backed up his opinion regarding this energy crisis with his action, his math, and his money, making it not an opinion but rather a reality and a fact. I likewise will offer no opinion, only facts and reality, backup with citations and math and action. My action today and everyday is to buy only Made in USA products.
