Pickens Plan needs to be approved by our government before it becomes a reality.
Mr. Pickens needs our government’s help, not to invest in it but to help him set up the infrastructure needed to carry the power from his proposed wind and solar farms and natural gas deposits to the rest of the country, a project likened to the building of our Interstate Highway system in the 50’s. If his plan is adopted by the next administration he and others will eventually be seeking the private funding needed, estimated at about $700Bill. to build the system. Only the government can acquire the necessary land to do this through eminent domain. They may be even able to help raise the funds through a federal bond issue. And all this does not even address the changes required by the big automakers to give us dual fuel vehicles or changes needed by our heavy duty transportation industry that uses 38% of our imported oil.
We need to be pushing Pickens Plan on our government officials as well as getting more people to join in.
