I’ve been seeing those commercials on TV about the “Pickens Plan” — the plan to end our dependency on foreign oil. The commercial was interesting enough that I dug a little deeper and went to the website: PickensPlan

I read a book back in the 80’s that T Boone Pickens authored - I can’t remember the name of the book but it was fantastic - he basically started with nothing and became a legendary oil billionaire in Texas. Pretty cool.

From his website: “The Plan calls for building new wind generation facilities that will produce 20% of our nation’s electricity and allow us to use natural gas as a transportation fuel. The combination of these domestic energies can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports. And we can do it all in 10 years.”

It’s worth taking a look…we need to do something…fast.
