Revealing stuff from T. Boone Pickens

National Journal Online - Q&A: T. Boone Pickens
Q: If Obama wins the election, should Al Gore go in and be the energy czar?

Pickens: Well, you know, you asked me a question, I don't know. I would certainly not... In that case, I think I would be for Al Gore for energy czar.
...

Q: Do you have an opinion on the offshore drilling that's being talked about in Congress?

Pickens: I've got an opinion on everything. Sure, you ought to do OCS [Outer Continental Shelf], you ought to do renewables, you ought to do biofuels, you ought to do ethanol -- all of them. Those are ours, and we've got to get off the dependency on the foreign oil.

Q: Well, but wait a minute, though, because part of the food crisis is being blamed on the fact that so much of corn is going towards ethanol.

Pickens: OK, don't do it then. I'd rather eat than drive my car.
