If anyone hasn't heard Tom L. Friedman's speech or read his book Hot, Flat and Crowded you should stop what you are doing and immediately listen to the speech he gave to the London School of Economics about sustainable energy and the world economy.
The whole speech is absolutely amazing and brilliant as is everything I've heard from Mr.Friedman whose books are definitely on my to read list. However, one part in particular stood out as listened. I think that this is the part where…

We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement. Look up your local leader from map on home pg.
Please, I ask the first 3 sites you visit to get accurate info and articles to see pretty much where the plan stands.
On the home page, click on About - Daily Pickens - Did You Know
We need to Push.PickensPlan.com – or “Push” as we like to call it.
Our future really does depend on us at this point in time!
If not now, WHEN? If not you, WHO? I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.
Well as they say (the large lady voiced the end). Neither candidate openly gave his support outright for our plan. Both knew about it and to a degree felt the intense support behind it. It goes back to another old saying, on the political platform be careful how far you put your foot in the door.
The Forums/discussions on this site are many and you’ll probably find something that interests or concerns you. Some are very long and were started months ago. Keep in mind As Sara Lee tells us (you cannot please all the people all the time).
Again Welcome; Tom
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining the Pickens Plan. I just wanted to let you know that a real person out here appreciates you taking that first step.
After you've had a chance to settle in, please let me know if there's anything I can do to guide your path. The basic first steps are reviewing the current topics in the Forum, and when you are comfortable, letting others know about the website. The people here are interested in making the plan a success and those you invite should be able to see for themselves that this is the right place to be.
Here are further steps you might consider.
- Visit the My Energy page and get involved.
- Work your contacts to increase press coverage.
- Write to congressional representatives directly.
- Use Pickens Action buttons or call (202)225-3121.
- Speak out for ending our dependence on foreign oil.
- Write letters to the editor of your local paper.
- Download flyers/etc from here or here.
- Download the Petition and ask others to sign it.
- Start a company to build wind turbines/solar panels.
- Start a financing firm to invest in those companies.
- Tell everyone you know about PickensPlan.com.
Decide for yourself what you can do, but definitely do something.
Welcome once again and thanks for signing up.
