The fact that the price of gasoline has declined some in recent weeks must not allow Americans to be lulled into a false sense of security. Energy independence must rank along with border security as the top priorities of the United States.
Boone Pickens should be commended for his leadership on American energy security, and for bringing Ted Turner along on some sensible approaches to enhancing it.
Some challenges remain, but the bottom line is that low-carbon options can and should play a much greater role in energy supply.
I get some heat for what English people call 'overproduction.' I don't think my older stuff was overproduced, but I do think that sound has dated.

Some think there is something wrong about enhancing people.
I'm well aware that I have been described in some quarters as being 'enigmatic, taciturn, prickly, explosive and forbidding'. Well, I have my moods like anyone else; I won't deny it.

I think of every book as a single entity, and some have later gone on to become a series, often at the request of readers.
I have had some great successes and great failures. I think every entrepreneur has. I try to learn from all of them.
Entrepreneurs must be practical experts. They needn't set out to be subject matter experts in what they do; they must set out to solve a problem or pursue some cause or purpose greater than themselves.
I've always envied girls having Ugg boots, so when I found some for men, I had to have them.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
