Question Earthority!

“Mr. T. Boone Pickens’ campaign for government subsidies to wind power, advertised in a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal and subsequently in an op-ed piece in the same, seems erroneous in several respects. First, our reliance on imported oil is not a ‘crisis’ unless we make it one. There are cheaper supplies of oil and its substitutes here in the U.S., and the high prices we currently are paying would bring them out of the ground and to consumers were it not for anti-energy policies preventing exploration and drilling. Those policies ought to be changed, rather than executing this elaborate and expensive build-around.” (07/19/08)
