This guys made over a billion dollars trading energy just last year because he knows what he is talking about. He's dead on with the water idea and he has invested about 6billion in wind all over Texas. He's an energy man and not just an oil man anymore. We are all going to be in for a shock when a major involuntary conservation movement hits up with big time energy costs. The sinking dollar is going to seal the deal on this one. History tells us that every great civilization has fallen when it was the most sure of its future. I just hope we have consumed ourselves out of a stable economy. Somebody dig up Milton Freeman because this is capitalism. Capitalism is allowing the success of goods and services to work themselves out a true free market. The lagest companies have turned into cannibals against their own country with the DotComBust/banking/stock advising fiasco, the Vioxx/Merck/NIH lapses, the outsourcing of manuf and information jobs to emerging countries, the predatory lending to our own people just to have it back fire at us all while depending on the people who hate us to keep our currency stable. The market will correct itself, but in a global economy that correction may mean more American companies that just Halliburton will be moving overseas. Why not the whole country is on sale right now. I thought Mr Pickens was very straight and informative.
