[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4205455, member: 18222"] I liked him and he was instrumental in getting the USA to use it's Natural Gas resources which made the USA a net exporter of fossil fuels. In his 2008 book, [I]The First Billion is the Hardest[/I], Pickens noted a belief in the "peak oil" theory. He later altered that position, noting technical achievements of the domestic oil and natural gas industries in utilizing horizontal drilling and fracking to unlock shale oil and gas reserves. He called for the construction of more nuclear power plants, the use of natural gas to power the country's transportation systems, and the promotion of alternative energy. Pickens's involvement with the natural gas fueling campaign was long-running. He formed Pickens Fuel Corporation in 1997 and began promoting natural gas as the best vehicular fuel alternative, being a domestic resource that, among many advantages, is cleaner-burning — a natural gas vehicle (NGV) emits up to 30% less pollution than a gasoline or Diesel fuel vehicle — and reduces foreign oil consumption. Reincorporated as Clean Energy Fuels Corporation in 2001, the company now owns and operates natural gas fueling stations from British Columbia to the Mexico–U.S. border. [/QUOTE]
