The Pickens Plan


You might have seen his advertisements on television recently. T. Boone Pickens , a former oil-man from Texas is touting a cocktail of solar and wind power, supplemented by natural gas as a stop-gap replacement for gasoline, as the future of energy in America. His ads are powerful and make obvious good points. He is supporting proven technologies in greater abundance than they are utilized today. He is financing a public movement towards greener and more independent energy that could influence the next administration or the impotent Congress. All this seems too good to be true, doesn't it? All of this progress, all of this to create public awareness of an issue that is at odds with the numerous accomplishments of his entire personal and professional life?

Yep.

I've signed up to support this public campaign. I encourage you to do so as well.
