Boone is playing a big game –the transmission lines for the prairie wind corridor will have to be along the lines of Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway project, in order to get electricity to southern California (which he wants to do). So he’s spending a lot of time courting politicians. He’s spending $60mm –said to be personal money –on all those PSAs you see if you watch tv. Nancy Pelosi is no doubt enamored of the wind power, and after that the cleanliness of natgas. i’d say the drilling part she figures she can moot via the other two. Also, she no doubt wants to make a buck. Lastly, Boone can sell. He’s got a track record –lotsa folks over the years have done very very well investing in/with/through/around him and his ideas.
