Proposition 10 - Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Renewable Energy
Similar to Prop 7, on the face of this, it seems like a good thing, but is it really mostly a good thing for T. Boone Pickens?
What do you think?

Another state expense we can't afford this year.
Vote No.
I'm the major Wacco solar power proponent, but alternative energy is already getting pushed in a major way. Forcing the utilities to move faster than they reasonably can will only cost more money.
Another No.

So far...From what I'm hearing and reading...
a BIG NO!...
If somethin' is labelled 'green' or 'greener' while we or others are bein' screwed...that's suppose to be okay?...
I love this line....
"Bush proved that to steal hundreds of billions of dollars, you do it with government help and you make it illegal for anyone to oppose you and then you rape and steal until you get tired." (bartcop)...
Here's some info. from another site...About what T. Boone is up too...(worth reading the comments too)...
In a co-written op-ed piece by Republican State Senators Ken Seliger and Robert Duncan published July 12 at LubbockOnline.com, the pair writes of Pickens strong-arming his way to a land and water grab, a move they dub unequivocally negative for West Texans. “The brand-new Roberts County Fresh Water Supply District No. 1, acting as an alter ego of T. Boone Pickens and Mesa Power Pampa, LLC, has launched a private venture that may
force landowners in 11 counties to submit to the power of eminent domain so they can pump water from the shrinking Ogallala Aquifer and sell wind-generated electricity. This new governmental entity is composed of only five people, all employees or associates of Pickens.”
