Michael, you don't get it do you?

Wind energy is nowhere near as viable an option as nuclear, and in no way addresses the nature of transportation energy. Nuclear however can be built anywhere (not just the Central US), generates nearly unlimited power without emissions, and produces enough energy to reasonably and affordably power electric cars that eliminate cumbustible fuels altogether.

Pickens and GE are STUCK with a dying technology, and so they're making lots of waves and lobbying Congress so that they can make money on a BAD investment. If Wind was viable, Pickens wouldn't need to spend his own money promoting it. He's selling snake-oil.
