Editorial: Energy Industry Can Find Second Wind
From ArgusLeader.com:
No one ever said that building up South Dakota's wind energy industry was going to be easy.
As a matter of fact, recent news that Otter Tail Power Co. no longer will be a partner in building the proposed Big Stone II coal plant in Big Stone City is somewhat of a blow to that effort.
The Big Stone II project includes plans to build a super-highway transmission line that could carry 800 to 1,000… Continue

EDITORIAL BOARD

Boone's latest article on the Huffington Post
Bipartisan support for a national energy plan
Some people are of the opinion that I jump-started my plan to end our country's addiction to foreign oil on a whim. I may have launched the Pickens Plan in July 2008, but the truth is our lack of a national energy plan has been worrying me for most of my professional career. Beginning in the 1970s, I noticed America's oil import numbers were trending in the wrong direction. Forty years ago, when Richard Nixon… Continue

CLEAN ENERGY SUMMIT 2.0
By T. Boone Pickens
I get a lot of invitations to events and activities, and the truth is I have to decline a good number of them. But last year when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asked me to attend the National Clean Energy Summit at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, I didn't have to think twice. I said "Yes" in a heartbeat.
Harry Reid has never shunned hard work. He may be Majority Leader of… Continue
