Pickens Plan...

[safetyguy]

I just saw an interesting commercial about T. Boone Pickens new plan for alternative energy so that we don't have to rely so much on foreign oil. The commercial made me think that it was political with the eye catching stats and with it saying at the bottom of the commercial Paid for by T. Boone Pickens.

A website has been created to further explain "his plan" www.pickensplan.com.

I thought that it was interesting on his website that Boone has profiles on myspace and facebook to get the younger generations involved.

I can save you the time reading the site.


WIND

That's the plan.

And Natural Gas...

[cannon_fodder]

He is going to drill the

Earth

more to get natural gas.  Which will be used to

Fire

power plants and industry around the nation.  To augment that power, he is now heavily invested in

Wind

power, notably in west Texas.  It is not small coincidence that the Wind Energy Subsidy was passed days after his recent testimony.  He also has bought up huge reserves of

Water

and plans on selling the rights to growing areas.  All this because he has a big

Heart

for profit.

Basically, he's a corporate Captain Planet.

You forgot "Heart". But that was always the dork-iest power... LOL

If he'd throw some of his fortune to OSU-Tulsa and OSU Med. Center I would like him a lot better.

[tjay88]

Actually millions of the $100 million he just donated to OSU will end up benefiting OSU in Tulsa.  That $100 million was used to match other donors who donated to endowed chairs and professorships.  That money is also going to be matched by the state.  Well part of the nearly 70 million that was brought in by OSU in a matter of weeks was donated to OSU-Tulsa and the med school.  So in turn that money will be matched by the money donated by Pickens.

Plus any money given to most of the colleges at OSU can (and probably will) benefit OSU-Tulsa.  What I mean by that any money given for endowed chairs to say the School of Business could be used to help lure (or keep) professors in the School of Business at the Tulsa campus as well.  Since there is only one School of Business (spans two campuses).  The other colleges are the same as well.

He is not playing politics with this one.  He is staying out of trying to influence the presidential race this year, because he wants whoever wins, no matter R or D, to believe in his plan.  This is truly a non-political issue.  It is an issue that affects everyone.

This is a real plan that could save America from the mess we're in.  The site is awesome.  I'd encourage everyone to check it out, watch his videos presenting to Congress and outlining the plan, and read the details.  Then, sign up with the site and be ready to voice your support to your congressmen.  We need our leaders to get behind this and help make it happen.

Pickens reminds me of the character that Richard Gere played in "Pretty Woman" except that I don't know that Pickens has in mind for the finale.

I'm not a fan of ol' T. Boone.

But on this issue, I agree with him wholeheartedly. He's actually taking action, when it seems that everyone else is just yakking or worrying.
