All you have to do is read through PROP 10, and you'll see a laundry list of cash grabs that benefit the greedy bastard — stuff like $200 million for a liquefied natural gas terminal, and $2.5 billion for rebates of up to $50,000 for each natural gas vehicle. All this measure's billions does is benefit Pickens' company to the exclusion of almost all other companies that are trying to break into the market and produce clean-vehicle fuels and technology.

He makes good commercials, and gets people all worked up; but this scheme of his isn’t going to do anything at all to reduce our dependence on oil imports. It’s really just a scam meant to pull tax subsidies out of the government, and into his own damn pocket.

Nothing like a little taxpayer assistance to help get your monopoly on, right?
