Pickens Water Grab UPDATED

Nancy Pelosi may not be investing directly in the Pickens water grab, but Picken’s plans to take water from west Texas are an integral part of the overall strategy, a way to finance the land for the wind-turbines, a way to make a lot of money, and a way to pave the way for the natural gas part of his plan.

Pickens is now sound-biting that he is FOR drilling, but in reality an “All of the Above” energy plan is NOT conducive to his plans: increased oil supplies would cause the price of natural gas to rise. Pickens understand that his message is not selling the American People, so he is adjusting it, but if he was sincere he would join in DEMANDING that Nancy Pelosi [4] CALL CONGRESS BACK! So far, his commercial say one thing while his actions say another.

In Roberts County Texas he was able to create a “Fresh Water Supply District” that will, through his machinations, provide water but not primarily to Roberts County. Opposition to this District within the County remains high, but the local government was not able to resist the Billionaire or all his friends in Texas.

Pickens is using a “Water District” to “lease” water rights from land-owners, and he is threatening to use eminent domain for those land-owners who refuse to give up their water rights. He wants to ability to sell 200,000 acre feet of water per year, each acre foot of water amounts to over 300,000 gallons, or over 600 BILLION gallons of water which would rapidly deplete the natural water table and, it is feared, leave local farmers in want of water.

The U.S. Department of Justice is blocking changes to Texas law that helped create a water district, dominated by 3 employees of Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens. This change allowed three Pickens employees to serve as supervisors the Fresh Water Supply District, which was created over and 8 acre parcel of land owned by Pickens. The changes approved last session in the state House and Senate allowed property owners in a freshwater district, even if they don’t live there, to serve on the board. Previous law required board supervisors be registered, resident voters.

Jay Rosser, spokesman for Pickens Mesa Water, said that the district could find new, eligible supervisors, if necessary and so, it is unlikely that this challenge will get in the way of the Billionaire investor. Pickens’ Mesa Water and Mesa Power joined with the district to pursue right of way between the remote resources and customers in Dallas and Fort Worth. The district gave Pickens access to eminent domain, a government’s power to compel the sale of private property for public use.

Mesa Water, Mesa Power, and CLNE, which Pelosi invests in, are essentially an unholy trinity, shuffling things around, working in tandem but in such a way as to confuse observers who fail to see the comity of action between the three entities and the politicians who support them

The legislators who sponsored the offending laws swear they had no idea that this law would specifically allow these two companies to pursue their aims as the law and the amendment were passed during the last crazy days of session, so most lawmakers probably didn’t know what they were voting on. If this is true, proposals that require legislators to READ THE LAW before they pass the law would have helped prevent a situation where one man stands to gain BILLIONS, perhaps a TRILLION, in profits by decimating the Ogallala Aquifer which allows the United States to lead the world in food production. Without the water it provides, the corn, wheat and beef industries could be seriously effected in a negative manner.
