Neither can T Boone Pickens. But I can. We have two oilmen in the White House and they have suppressed all competition to oil. They wiped out all mandates for alternative fuels and yanked the hybrid electric program from the Big Three automakers who were making progress on 70 mpg diesel/electic hybrids. We must elect someone who doesn't believe in drilling in our backyards and public beaches for oil. Rather someone who wants to cut oil use by 50 percent with natural gas, propane, hydrogen and electric hybrids. And stop polluting the air we breathe. There are other ways to power our cars than petrol which does not combust very efficiently and pours tons of toxins into the air. Aubrey McClendon can’t say it. Neither can T Boone Pickens.
