August 27, 2008 5:47 PM EDT
Today, T. Boone Pickens responded to NBC's (NYSE: GE) rejection of Pickens new ad. This is the part of the script that NBC didn't like, "Get this one, Iran is changing its cars to run on natural gas, and we're not doing a thing here, They're doing this to use less oil, and sell it for a hundred and twenty dollars a barrel. We can switch our cars to natural gas and stop sending our dollars to foreign countries."

In Pickens response, he concluded, "To deny this advertisement is to deny Americans from their fundamental right to information and the ability to make their own decisions. We hope you will reconsider your decision and that you will decide to allow this advertisement to appear on NBC as soon as possible."

T. Boone Pickens is a very large investor in Clean Energy Fuels Corp (Nasdaq: CLNE), which is a provider of natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicles. Clean Energy has risen over 28% during the past 30 days.
