You may or may not know that T Boone Pickens is a billionaire who has made his money in oil. I saw a commercial tonight featuring his message – we send $700 billion each year overseas to pay for oil. That’s 4x what the Iraq was costs us (in dollars anyway).
He’s convinced that the only way to solve our problem is with renewables at home. He’s got a plan for wind/natural gas that I think is inspired. It turns out that the midwestern US has the most constant, reliable wind on the planet. He’s putting his money up front and not asking for yours. He’s pledged to work with, or lobby the hell out of the next president and congress – to get them to build the distribution system for the massive wind farms he wants to build and for natural gas for cars.
