T. Boone Pickens has a plan

America is in a hole and it’s getting deeper every day. We import 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war.

I’ve been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can’t drill our way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network, we can break our addiction to foreign oil.

PickensPlan has information, videos, and more. Interesting, isn’t it, that this hard right Texas oil man has been investing heavily in wind and solar. He’s no treehugger, he wants to make money from it. I don’t care how the switch to renewables comes about, just as long as it does. But we don’t need to just break our addiction to foreign oil, we need to break it for all oil, the sooner the better
