T Boone Pickens, Halliburton & Energy Independence?


If you want more money going to Dubai!

I'm watching Kieth Olberman and the Premier of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show, which I'm a HUGE FAN because she's also a talk show host on Air America, and a Gay icon with a tremendous amount of integrity and calm strength.

I couldn't help noticing all of these natural gas commercials, and a company with the vast majority of holdings, called Chesapeake Energy Corp. What is the question we need to ask? Exactly--Who owns this company?  T. Boone Pickens, a neo-liberal oil man who has a great idea, even a green idea.  But, do you want this guy to be the one who makes money off of the remaking of our energy infrastructure?  I don't!  Now that Halliburton has moved its corporate offices to Dubai, all this does is tie our energy again to countries who are suspect in funding terrorism, and to Cheney.
