Oilman's Dream |
|

|
Texas oilman, T.
Boone Pickens asked Congress to clear the path for his plan to
use wind and natural gas for our energy needs.
He told the Senate Homeland Security and Government affairs
committee that government should begin building transmission
lines for wind-generated power or provide the right of
way?on private land and extend tax credit so the private sector
can build the lines.
Pickens has a plan to erect wind turbines in the midwest to
replace 22 percent of U.S. power produced from natural gas.
He also told lawmakers that, "If government wants to build the
grid, the they should do it; if government doesn’t want to do
it, I think the money is there to do it in the privatesector."
Pickens's wind plan will be very challenging, but it can also
solve part of our energy problems in the future. |
