Of Course, The Other Shoe

Michael Conniff: CON GAMES: T. Boone's Doggle: "T. Boone Pickens, you see, may be doing the right and noble thing by the environment, but he ain't not doing it for nothing. His hedge fund has positions in natural gas and emerging technologies that are sure to set the billionaire's cash register a'ringin'. At the Aspen Institute, he admitted to this rather annoying conflict-of-interest only when Casey McConnell, a green friend in the audience, asked him about one of his companies in Canada."

Not sure why if it's the right thing to do by the environment that's it's a bad thing for someone to recognize the opportunity and make some money off of it at the same time.

It's like we're all expected to be Mother Teresa these days.
