How T. Boone Pickens and The "Pickens Plan" Could Make You Wealthy By Investing in Green Stocks
T. Boone Pickens owns 40% of a company called Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE). This is a company that provides natural gas for vehicle fleets in the U.S. and Canada. CLNE designs, builds, finances, and operates the fueling stations.
T. Boone Pickens owns 12% of Westport Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:WPRT) a leading developer of environmental technologies that enable vehicles to operate on clean-burning alternative fuels.
WRPT works with global automotive leaders such as Cummins Inc., Ford, and BMW to incorporate their technologies into leading manufacturers engines and to explore future commercial opportunities for clean vehicles.
Pickens� new company, Mesa Water, has been buying up ground water rights in Roberts County, Texas - 200,000 acres in all. He says that over a 30-year period, he expects to make more than $1 billion on his investment of $75 million.
Many others are coming to the realization that water is too cheap. Hence, water rights are a great buy today.
As an individual investor, you can�t trade water rights very easily. But you can invest in a company that owns almost as much water as Pickens does � in actuality, the acre feet that this Company owns are more valuable than what Pickens purchased.
PICO Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:PICO) together with its subsidiaries, engages in the ownership and development of real estate properties. It owns land and the related mineral rights and water rights in Nevada. The company is involved in water resource development business, such as developing new sources of water for water utilities, municipalities, developers, or industrial users. In addition, PICO Holdings engages in the acquisition and financing of businesses. It operates in the United States and Europe. The company was founded in 1981 and is based in La Jolla, California.
T. Boone Pickens thinks he'll earn $1 billion on his $76 million investment - or basically 13 times his money. PICO - already in this business, with substantial expertise and a portfolio of more valuable water rights - could do even better.

Jay,
TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority. The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must implement drastic efficiency improvement.
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
Please take a look at the executive summary on my page. We are in the process of establishing a nonprofit innovation laboratory in Houston Texas dedicated to inspiring young people to pursue technology careers and to the development of the next-generation of strategic technologies to meet our current global challenges. Alternative energy is a major focus of our program.
Right now, we are in need of people willing to sponsor our efforts or to finding sponsorship for us.
We believe this can be the beginning of an effort that can spread to other areas of the country and create a critical mass of new technology ideas and innovative technologists to meet the challenges.
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

I appreciate the invite but I do not play in the market and never will, I put my money in land.
I like the stirring of the populace that Mr. Boone is creating and his plan although not new technology is admirible however I hope all will do their homework carefully before jumping on the first bandwagon that comes around the corner. Remember this man is a busniess man with an agenda and all should fully understand it before investing.
I have been reading a lot of the discussions (here and elsewhere) and finding although most seem to care about doing something most have no clue where to start and come to the table with a lot of consecptions they have formed based on other conceptions of government, media,and other carefully crafted propoganda campaigns and have not done any real research into the issues at hand.
If you watched the national news last night Mr. Pickens has already influenced the Texas government to start work on the project to build the transmission line for his wind farms, the bottom line is he could never buy up all the land in his path to accomplish this so he needed the power of condemnation for the public good to get there. He did not fall of the turnip truck yesterday.
He is also into other ventures aparently thet go hand in hand with this one such as bringing water to his part of the state from the panhandle so there is another right of way Hmmm.
I will help when I can but only after all the facts are known.
Thanks for inviting me to join. I like the real-world practical solutions to this grave problem afects all of our lives. We are rapidly falling to second tier status in the world community because of our financial disasters like oil dependance and our lack of leadership on global warming issues. I never thought an oil man could lead us out of this mess, but I now believe it is possible. Good on T. Boone for coming up with this. Good marketing for his solutions no matter if they also sell more of his gas and wind power. This is enligntened capitalism at its best.
Hey Jay,
I saw your name on the "conserve energy" group... I'm all for conservation. I live in an apartment so solar panels and a tankless water heater are pretty much out of the question for me. I cant buy a new car (dont have the money) and as a professional drummer, I cant really take public transportation (hey, you try loading a drumset on a city bus after midnight)
However, I've already done several things... I believe we can reduce our energy use (and therefore our oil consumption) and in the process lower our energy bills, raise our gas mileage, and live a little healthier.
I posted a blog on the subject here http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 and I'm open to more suggestions. If you have a minute, check it out and let me know what you think.
Enjoyed seeing your comments on the leadership board and want to offer you an invitation to join group discussions on the creation of an investment fund that will jump start the Pickens Plan. Step onto the court and let me know your thoughts.
Create and supply your own power.

My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!! Time for talk is over.....
I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative ever put forth...
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modulars with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $149,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2.
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs as entire subdivisions come on-line becoming virtual mini-generating stations.
As well as helps the environment…
Win-win-win.
It is the short term solution to a long term problem.......
Now that I have come home to South Georgia....
it is time to enlist All the help with this I can get.
I need more R & D with my new patent Idea an will be asking for Ga Tech's help.....with the SOLAR POWERED RECIRCULATOR GENERATOR which will drive the cost of production down by almost 60% and will also be going back to Washington DC in this election year to demand more from our "so called elected or soon-to-be-elected officials".
I am in negotiations with Roger Little of Spire Solar in Mass to build a 100mw manufacturing plant in Liberty County Ga.
My plan is simple mix Roger's little assembly line with RapidModular.com's walling panels to produce under one roof the
Structures of the future.
I have a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum near
Completion. I am only letting 35 non-accredited investors in
before turning it over to the Investment Banker Wolves....
they are already at the door.....
