Remember that Texas oil guy who had this cool plan where we'd stop using fossil fuels for electricity cause we'd make super wind farms. But then, we'd use natural gas for cars because... I dunno it's a good fossil fuel. Yeah remember him?
I mean, the whole idea seemed vaguely good because NG is better than petrol, and wind power is good, but bad in that building a whole lot of NG filling stations is not a natural pathway to not using fossil fuels. Initial reaction was pretty mixed, and sometimes downright skeptical.
Well, seems the skeptics were underestimating him. Sure his plan was designed to make him money. But via Kevin Drum here we find out that wasn't the half of it. He doesn't just want the government to give him millions in subsidies for wind power. No, he wants California to give him millions in subsidies for NG cars, and some how he also works in a plan for Texas to give him hundreds of acres of property for a water right of way.
He's less Al Gore than Matthew Lesko.
