Question: What would you do in Pickens’ shoes?

T. Boone Pickens is in a bit of a pickle. He’s a staunch Republican and makes a lot of campaign contributions to conservative politicians. He even gave the maximum contribution to James Inhofe!

Joseph Romm suggests that Pickens should give campaign donations to the Democrats who support renewable energy projects.

We break ground aug 10th and I am hoping we close by Dec 1st so I can qualify for tax credit, do you think this is doable? The construction company has me on their list so they are trying.

Answer: It will be close, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you! Schedule will be critical – drop by the job site every day to check on their progress. Also, talk to your builder to see if there are things that can be done after closing (that would fall into the warranty period) to speed up the process.

Good luck!
