T. Boone Pickens Offers Plan to Solve Energy Woes

America is blessed with the world’s greatest wind power corridor and abundant reserves of clean natural gas, says my fellow Oklahoma State University graduate, T. Boone Pickens. At the same time, it’s facing a three-pronged crisis — economic, environmental and national security — as a result of its dependence on foreign oil. That said, the hypersuccessful oilman has a plan — The Pickens Plan — to help solve the nation’s energy woes.

In short, The Plan calls for building new wind generation facilities that will produce 20 percent 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.

I watched this video in which the details are explained by T. Boone himself and think he might have something worth considering. Unfortunately, it requires consensus on the part of Americans — liberal, conservative, left, right and wacko — to come to fruitions. Watch the video and let me know what you think.
