I must commend T. 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.

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!
