6. One Million
Why now that you mention it, I believe he does! He's one of those guys who makes a bet and then tells you that he was just kidding and won't pay up.

Well, Californians can clarify exactly whose dime it will be: Ours. Along with being the country’s biggest wind power developer, Pickens owns Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a natural gas fueling station company that is the sole backer of the stealthy Proposition 10 on California’s November ballot. This measure would authorize the sale of $5 billion in general fund bonds to provide alternative energy rebates and incentives — but by the time the principal and the interest is paid off, it would squander at least $9.8 billion in taxpayer money on Pickens’ self-serving natural gas agenda.

5. Pickens has no credibility
This old guy has all the money anyone could ever want and his years left on earth are limited, so he thinks he can make the world look to him as some kind of savior and get his ego a big boost that money no longer accomplishes.

In my mind he does more harm than good to the nations energy policy, because he proved his actions are not in the best interests of Americans.

9. Trust
Yes, I'd like to see someone in the media nail the guy. If he's such an expert on Energy, why didn't he see this mess coming and back Kerry instead of Bush?
