T. Boone Pickens has an Alternative Energy Plan
...I take notice when a man spends 58 million dollars to advertise his new ideas. However, according to his web site, www.pickensplan.com, the ideas are not new, but when he proposes something, he usually puts his money behind it. He is building a very large windmill farm in Texas. That will save whatever fossil fuels would have been used to produce that electricity.
...His proposal to run vehicles on natural gas might actually work this time, if he invests in the service stations needed for refueling such vehicles. Do we produce enough natural gas nationally to fuel all the vehicles?
...He appeals to those who do not want to drill for oil by saying that we don't need new drilling. I like the fact that he isn't proposing using something that will increase other items for consumers, like using corn to produce ethanol, causing grain prices to rise.
