This is a 10 minute presentation given by T. Boone Pickens himself describing what we are facing as a nation and clearly explaining solid solutions toward cleaner energy. History has shown us that change has not often been welcomed by the masses. However, because of persistent trailblazers you and I can enjoy driving cars, flying in planes, electricity, all forms of communication, and flushing toilets, etc. You get my drift. Right now, we must SEEK and deliver a WIN-WIN solution for ALL parties involved (ie; producers, consumers, distributors, and environment). We, the consumer, have to start getting excited and EMBRACE these changes that will benefit us ALL. It's up to ALL of us to create the market for them to want to produce environmentally friendly products, goods and services. We, the consumer, have THE POWER to influence them.
I've taken the following information from Pickens Plan.
The Mechanics
We currently use natural gas to produce 22% of our electricity. Harnessing the power of wind to generate electricity will give us the flexibility to shift natural gas away from electricity generation and put it to use as a transportation fuel — reducing our dependence on foreign oil by more than one-third.
How do we get it done?
The Pickens Plan is a bridge to the future — a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives, and buy us time to develop even greater new technologies.
Building new wind generation facilities and better utilizing our natural gas resources can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports in 10 years. But it will take leadership.
On January 20th, 2009, a new President will take office.
We're organizing behind the Pickens Plan now to ensure our voices will be heard by the next administration.
Together we can raise a call for change and set a new course for America's energy future in the first hundred days of the new presidency — breaking the hammerlock of foreign oil and building a new domestic energy future for America with a focus on sustainability.
You can start changing America's future today by supporting the Pickens Plan. Join now.
