Another naive sucker. You people need to start realizing that you cannot accept what anyone from the media, Washington or financial world tells you. They are all lying to you to get rich. Don't be fooled by Pickens. First, throughout his career he has been seen as very controversial and many would view him as reckless. He only made his first real money by making an easy call -- investing in the Canadian oil sands and collecting extortionist fees that hedge funds allow. Understand that Pickens is on a massive PR campaign to sell Americans this wind power idea. He wants taxpayers to subsidize wind power that is so useless it will need natural gas and most likely nuclear power, not to mention an entirely new power grid. That is why he released this book which was most likely ghost-written.

Now as for his wind energy plan, I SUGGEST YOU ALL DO SOME RESEARCH. WHEN YOU DO YOU WILL SEE IT'S A SCAM. WHAT HE REALLY WANTS TO DO IS USE THIS WIND BS AS A WAY TO MAKE BILLIONS SELLING WATER TO NORTH TEXAS. In addition, he wants to push natural gas to make billions from his company, Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

Search on Google and you will see what his plan is all about.

Face the facts. Wind power is a joke compared to most alternatives. Solar power should be the real focus of America. Natural gas is nonrenewable and is no solution. If America had more dependency on natural gas, regardless even if we supplied 100% of the needs, you better believe eventually the natural gas companies would raise prices to ridiculous levels because face it, THE ENERGY INDUSTRY IS A MONOPOLY.

If solar power was embraced, it would provide a solution to the world's needs..easily. And there would be no monopoly.

As far as Warren Buffett endorsing this book, Warren you are a sell-out and I must conclude you are a dishonest crook. Maybe that is why you are friends with Bill Gates, King Crook of the world. As far as Icahn, we all know he is a crook.

Of course, most Americans are too ignorant to realize what is going on.

As long as the public buys these empty books they will be written. Publishers know Americans are more interested in buying a book if the person is well-known, even if the book is a rehash of what other less known authors have written about.

Do yourself a favor and turn off the TV. The media is filled with lies and liars, all who stand to make money from fooling you. The worst is CNBC and FOX.
