re: #631 Cognito

I heard Pickens talk about energy here in NYC last October. He made it clear that we’ll need every type of energy, including nuclear, to maintain our economy and our standard of living. He’s partial to natural gas, which he said exists in great abundance all over the U.S. Although he also favors wind and solar, he doesn’t think they can deliver the kind of energy we’ll need. To illustrate, he said no wind or solar device in existence or contemplated can fuel a fully loaded 18-wheeler.
