He is going after the subsidies. Early this spring he said oil was going down. Now it is going up. He decided to profit from the fools in Washington.

Natural gas fueled vehicles may not be exactly what is known as alternative energy, since it is not truly renewable. But known reserves are much larger than proven oil reserves. Here is a brief description of Clean Energy Fuels Corp. Pickens founded the predecessor company. Clean Energy Fuels Corp. provides natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and Canada. It designs, builds, finances, and operates fueling stations and supplies compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas. The company serves approximately 275 fleet customers operating 14,000 natural gas vehicles in public transit, refuse hauling, airports, taxis, seaports, and regional trucking markets. As of December 31, 2007, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. owned and operated 170 natural gas fueling stations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Wyoming, and Canada. The company was incorporated in 2001 and is based in Seal Beach, California. They just won a contract with Brookhaven, NY, to build and operate natural gas fueling stations for 75 waste collection vehicles serving over 100,000 Brookhaven homes. Pickens is also planning a multi-billion dollar wind farm in the Texas panhandle that will eventually have 2700 wind turbines, and reportedly will generate electric power equivalent to 2 new nuclear power plants.
