(T Boone's plan is good for T Boone... - promoted by poligirl)
T Boone Pickens continues his hard sell efforts when it comes to the flawed Pickens' Plan. Yesterday, a bipartisan group of bloggers had a teleconference with T Boone. If one listens through 'the call', several points might jump out:
1. The bloggers seem have an uneven understanding of energy issues based on their comments and questions. In fact, the "right wing" bloggers seem to have basically no knowledge of energy issues. From the "left", several of the bloggers have legitimate claims to be energy/environmental experts.
2. At the end of the day, T Boone Pickens was able to get away with half-truths and untruths in the session.
This was part of T Boone's promotion of an "e-rally" to be held before and after the Presidential debate this evening, with Sierra Club executive director Carl Pope joining him, to seek to influence the national debate toward T Boone's problem filled plan.
The Democratic National Convention is in Denver this week.
Energy is a big issue this week at the DNC Convention.
The same folks who financed the Swiftboaters for "Truth" in 2004 are financing hateful and lying ads against Obama.
Interestingly, there is a link between these three statements, and that link is the answer to this question: Who is appearing at the Big Tent (the place for progressive bloggers and new media journalists) in Denver on Wednesday?
