T. Boone Pickens Unveils PickensPlan.com Energy Web Site Today

Obama, McCain? Are You Listening?

While both presidential candidates are considering their respective futures with respect to the voting public and then Congress, perhaps they should be considering what is bound to be an encounter ... no, perhaps a confrontation with T. Boone Pickens and his Web site, PickensPlan.com.

First, you should know that that Pickens is not some "crazy" who simply mouths off. He is a Texas oilman who through savvy business dealings has become a rich and routine contributor to conservative politics; in fact, he is somewhat legendary.

Pickens doesn't feel that either presidential candidate is taking the dependence on foreign oil seriously enough so, he is going to force the issue. You can expect to see his face this fall as much as that of the candidates; how?

Today Pickens is going to launch a Web site, PickensPlan.com, and, intends on making it the largest public campaign ever with respect to his plan for reducing dependence on foreign oil by at least one-third within 10 years.

According to Pickens we are paying 700 billion dollars per year to other countries and it is hurting our nation. In his opinion, the candidates aren't making it enough of a priority so he is going to force them to by use of his Web site which promotes his plan.

Pickens' plan is to use America's natural wind power to offset the lack of natural oil resources. The plan by insiders is well received and, as indicated, Pickens has the money to bankroll the site to promote his plan. In Pickens' words "Neither presidential candidate is talking about solving the oil problem; so we're going to make 'me talk about it."

Generally speaking, as will be shown on the video at the Web site, Pickens will describe the use of wind power as providing interim energy while interim strategies are developed; so-called "blueprints for the future".

T. Boone Pickens has a way of getting things done. He is a successful money man and he has proven that he is tough; he plays with the "big boys". He knows his way around politics and he knows his way around media campaigns. His idea sounds worth listening to. He obviously is a dynamic thinker.
