NBC Refuses Pickens Plan Ad

Energy independence should not be a partisan issue, despite the fact that the current administration was 100% negligent in failing to make this a national security priority after 9/11. That said, Gore is correct that America needs to use its natural gas for power generation that can fuel electric cars that cause less pollution than using this fuel directly for transportation uses (just b/c Iran is doing it, doesn't make me think that it necessarily the way to go). Let's face it, whether McCain or Obama are in the Whitehouse, the issues related to climate change and carbon capture are going to be addressed as part of our energy security, and if Mr. Pickens wants to be a part of that discussion, then more power to him!
