The dismiss the Pickens plan as a cynical bid to up the value of his investments in these sectors, which I think it is. I also think it’s worth considering, too. A man can propose a perfectly valid idea for base motives.

And that’s ironic. That they would cynically criticize Pickens because he has a financial (i.e. free-market, capitalist) interest in the proposal. I thought that’s how it worked? Why should it matter if he stands to profit if he in the end plays an important role in finding a means to an end?
