Texas Oil Man T. Boone Pickens has a plan. It is aptly named PickensPlan (catchy, huh?) The plan is a way to reduce our dependency on foreign oil by harnessing wind. Here’s the Cliff’s Notes

  • The U.S. has the most pronounced wind corridor in the world, providing endless, free, natural fuel to power wind turbines.

  • The wind turbines will produce over 20% of the nation's electrical power.

  • Currently, natural gas provides over 20% of the nation's electrical power.

  • Take the natural gas that's being saved by wind, and put it into transportation.

  • Oil needs for transportation will go down 38% by transferring the natural gas from power to transportation.

  • Our foreign oil costs will drop over $300 billion annually. Within 10 years.

  • The technology is there. Wind turbines exist. Natural Gas vehicles exist. no more inventing is needed, just production
