What would you do in Pickens%26#039; shoes? T. Boone Pickens is in a bit of a pickle. He%26#039;s a staunch Republican and makes a lot of campaign contributions to conservative politicians. He even gave the maximum contribution to James Inhofe!

Yet congressional Republicans are the ones blocking the renewable energy tax credits which projects like Pickens%26#039; wind plan need to succeed.

Joseph Romm suggests that Pickens should give campaign donations to the Democrats who support renewable energy projects.

If you were in Pickens%26#039; shoes (and remember, that means you%26#039;re a staunch Republican), what would you do?

and for those that believe that TAXING the oil industry will lower prices --- read this-- then give me more thumbs down-- Corporations do NOT pay taxes-- they pass on taxes to you and me in the form of higher prices.

Edit for Lily-- we already have almost 3000 megawatts --- soon to become 7000 megawatts--- and several years later-- 11,000 megawatts-- all tied in to the Texas grid-- and Lily he built them with HIS money-- Texas is providing the transmission towers--
