NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana Mike takes a call about the fallacy that was the T. Boone Pickens wind farm fraud whereby the gentlemanly sounding Pickens ended up revealing himself as nothing but yet another corporatist looking for massive corporate welfare in the form of wealth-transfer subsidies to fund his snake-oil wind farm.

The sad reality is, that as the layers of red tape on top of a tax burden that requires two people work full-time, the possibility of a Wright Brothers-esque discovery in gaining energy independence sails ever further towards the horizon.

If we truly desire to find a solution to the energy crisis, dismantle the bureaucracy that prevents todays backyard inventors from bringing the solution to market.
