It actually does something to cut off the air supply to terrorists, it increases our security by decoupling us from foreign interests, and, in my mind more importantly, it gives something that we as a country can get behind and unite us instead of divide us.

It also has a major impact in reducing the number of dollars flowing to these other countries.

As to Pickens, why would you care if he makes money on it? This is a man that has a very long history of getting things done, well. Is there some reason he shouldn't profit from it?

Pickens is a good man, and has plenty of money. I think there is every reason to believe that his interest in helping our country is at least as important to him as adding more money to his already substantial pile.
