He's a complex man, Pickens is. On one hand, I find him to be kind of an asshole. Sponsoring the Swift Boat attacks on Kerry, that was bad. Offering a million bucks to anyone who'd come forward to dispel those Swift Boat stories and then *not* paying it when someone came forward, that was just lame.
And then on the other hand, I have to admit that he's right about our energy policy. We really do need to push hard for domestic sources of energy, and to transform our transportation sector to use electricity, or really anything other than oil. We need to get our oil needs down to where we can keep ourselves readily supplied via our own and Canadian resources, and preferably just our own. I just hate hearing such accurate information and a realistic plan from such an asshole.
