>>T. Boone is right....

From T. Boone Pickens -

We imported 4.35 billion barrels of oil in 2009 at a cost of over half a million dollars per minute.

Yes, you read that correctly.

4.35 BILLION barrels imported in 2009.

Over $500,000 dollars spent per MINUTE on foreign oil.

That’s another $265 BILLION siphoned out of America’s struggling economy, and we still haven’t adopted a real energy plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
