Thanks much for the T. Boone Pickens story!

Always loved that guy! The world is poorer without him!

A true giant- legendary investor, wildcatter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and much more! One of the most colorful characters in our history.

Wish he had run for President.....we might have an intelligent energy policy today.

I love these quotes from him:

“You can’t have a five minute conversation on energy in Washington. They run out of things they can talk about in less than five minutes.”

“There is more oil in Canada than Saudi Arabia. If we turn away the Keystone pipeline from Fort McMurray to the sea for China, we will go down as the dumbest nation in history.”

“It’s a crime against humanity to make ethanol out of corn. We are driving up food prices. Just tap the gas.”

“We are trying a new fracking technology without chemicals; it used electro-magnetic pulses to free the formations. With all of the advances, we have $2.34 natural gas. Technology does not care about the idiots in Washington.”

“I saw my first fracked well in 1953. I have fracked 3000 wells personally. I have not seen an aquifer damaged.”

I was unaware of the Gulf Oil anecdote you shared.......I would love to be wrong on this, even though I'm getting a little tired of eating crow.

BTW, tastes like chicken!

Thanks again
cheers!
