That guy is so freakin' rich and just wants to keep getting richer. As much as I'd like to think that he would be doing this out of the goodness of his heart, I have a feeling that his wallet will just get fatter. Be weary of the Pickens!

Boone Pickens is a good example of how capital can get things started much quicker than legislation. One thing he mentioned in his bit on CNBC, though, was that this could all be done within 5 or 10 years. That is at least how long it will take to get Continental Shelf or ANWR oil onto the market. I think the jury should still be out on drilling in these locations. There are a lot of industries that could be effected by ecological ramifications of oil problems with offshore rigs, including fisheries and tourism in Florida and the rest of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast. What Boone Pickens didn't say, is that while the natural gas we currently use is a non-renewable fossil fuel, the technology to produce natural gas from food, yard, and other organic waste has been around for a very long time, and is well developed. It also has a MUCH better input:output energy ratio than ethanol production. If Boone Pickens gets all of this going within ten years, renewable natural gas (biogas), could replace the need to drill off shore or in ANWR. Thanks for posting this.
