Oil billionaire, turned wind / natural gas champion, T. Boone Pickens knows a few things about energy. He has spent his career in the oil business, and he is dedicating his time and money to taking the US into a new, secure and cleaner direction of energy independence.
Today, Mr. Pickens was compelled to clarify his plans to build the largest wind farm in the world in Pampa, Texas, suggesting that other special interest groups are out to see his “Pickens Plan” fail. (Click here to read the email from the desk of T. Boone Pickens).
Mr. Pickens understands what is at stake here for US energy security, and for the environment globally. His plan is simple. Use more wind power to generate electricity, and use more natural gas to power vehicles. Citizens should understand that Mr. Pickens is ultimately promoting and building a strategic energy plan for cleaner energy in the United States. And his success will be good for the US, and good for the global environment. So, in that regards, it is important for citizens of the US, and citizens of the world to support his actions.
And while Mr. Pickens is investing his own money to promote the plan and provide the initial financing for a critical piece of his strategy – the world’s biggest wind farm. As an 81 one year old billionaire his primary motive is not profit. But lets not be fooled to thinking that this is not a profit making venture. It will be. And it should be if it wants any hope of long term success.
