Boone Pickens Quotes (5 Quotes)

The world produces about 85 million barrels a day, ... That's where demand is now, too. And I've seen forecasts that demand is going to be higher than that by the end of the year.

You cannot help but be struck by the magnitude of this disaster, ... The American Red Cross is on the front line of this recovery effort.
