Sometimes that means putting our money where our mouths are (nice cliché that definitely applies here). Can we wean ourselves off the foreign oil dependency? I believe so and know it will take a consciousness shift of the American people to do it. I admire Pickens for putting his money and time on the line in hopes of turning this country around. People need to look beyond the single project of the wind power and listen and read about the other alternatives also in the pipeline. Using our own oil versus exporting it. Drilling our own offshore versus selling it to China. Using geothermal, tides and nuclear energies. Forcing public service vehicles to use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Incentivize car makers and citizens to make and purchase hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles that get maximum mileage. And so much more. With focuse as a nation, I believe we can free ourselves from more than 50% of our current foreign oil "needs" in five years.Bonezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528193979330191817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18127368.post-56846257915415703332008-07-16T08:43:00.000-04:002008-07-16T08:43:00.000-04:00Pickens Plan is making the rounds in the blogosphe...Pickens Plan is making the rounds in the blogosphere.
