T Boone Pickens Launches Green Energy "Pickens Plan"
T Boone Pickens, the legendary oil speculator who has made billions on soaring crude prices has a plan (called the Pickens Plan) for weaning ourselves off foreign oil by increasing the use of wind power and natural gas (for car fuel) and has begun a 10 million dollar ad campaign to get the word out. It should be noted that Pickens, who has invested a few billion into his own wind farm and is the man behind Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), stands to profit greatly should these initiatives gain greater traction. After all he is a businessman. It’s still a noble effort and he should be applauded for taking the initiative while our elected leaders sit on their hands. The time must be now.
Pickens says his plan, which aims to reduce foreign oil imports by a third in the next decade is doable if Congress and the next President act quickly, however he also calls for much of the initiative to funded by the private sector
