“But This is One Emergency We Can’t Drill Our Way Out Of”

– Texas Oilman T. Boone Pickens

Update: Pickens was a major funder of the nefarious Swift Boat campaign. I am disgusted I was duped into actually promoting him.

Pickens is buying up a ton of ad time to announce to America “The Pickens Plan,” which involves a gargantuan investment in wind and solar power technologies– renewables. He says that the United States “is the Saudi Arabia of wind power.”

You understand? A billionaire Texas oilman is finally saying: We can’t drill ourselves out of this emergency.

And he’s putting his money where his mouth is.

I’m not trying to sing his praises or anything. But it is fascinating to hear this from a Texas billionaire oilman, particularly considering the other “solutions” being offered recently.

    Good for Pickens. Whether we like to admit it or not, guys at his level (re earning power) often achieve it by possessing a gut insight that others lack.
    Hopefully that is the case here.

    hmm, lets see, a billionaire who is investing a large pile of his own money into wind farms is running ads saying we all need to get behind this idea. im sure he doesnt have an ulterior motive. and those windmills are soooo much better looking than an oil rig. hell, you cant even fish around those windmills.
