At one time he was the most hated corporate raider in America, he doubled and tripled his money his version of blackmail was called greenmail
Last few years he became environmentally concerned, and became a proponent of wind power.

One less outlandish character from Texas. But now we have to be ready for IG Ricks.

Researching the origins of the Ricks, meetings held at Farben Haus in Frankfurt, end of 1943. They knew that there was no way to prevail, not with the Soviet Union on one front and the United States on the other.

I actually knew Boone very well. His ranch is just a few miles from mine in West Texas. In person, he was a very humble and polite man. Yes, he got famous for doing Green Mail. But he actually made most of his money playing the Futures markets. He had a knack of predicting the direction of the price of Oil & Gas.

He TRIED to get some wind farms set up. Spent a few million trying to buy up access lines to some big cities. It never happened. He also built a water pipeline. His son mostly ran these water and wind ventures.
