A BOONE FOR WIND

(CNN) -- Billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens is putting his clout behind renewable energy sources like wind power.

T. Boone Pickens talks about the advantages of wind power on CNN.

The legendary entrepreneur and philanthropist on Tuesday unveiled a new energy plan he says will decrease the United States' dependency on foreign oil by more than one-third and help shift American energy production toward renewable natural resources.
"The Pickens Plan" calls for investing in domestic renewable resources such as wind, and switching from oil to natural gas as a transportation fuel.
In a news conference outlining his proposal, Pickens said his impetus for the plan is the country's dangerous reliance on foreign oil.
"Our dependence on imported oil is killing our economy. It is the single biggest problem facing America today," he said. Watch Pickens discuss plan for wind power »
"Wind power is ... clean, it's renewable. It's everything you want. And it's a stable supply of energy," Pickens told CNN in May. "It's unbelievable that we have not done more with wind."
Pickens' company, Mesa Power, recently announced a $2 billion investment as the first step in a multibillion-dollar plan to build the world's largest wind farm in Pampa, Texas.
Pickens said Tuesday that if the United States takes advantage of the so-called "wind corridor," stretching from the Canadian border to West Texas, energy from wind turbines built there could supply 20 percent or more of the nation's power. He suggested the project could be funded by private investors.

Power from thousands of wind turbines that would line the corridor could be distributed throughout the country via electric power transmission lines and could fuel power plants in large population hubs, the oil baron said.
Fueling these plants with wind power would then free up the natural gas historically used to power them, and would mean that natural gas could replace foreign oil as fuel for motor vehicles, he said.
Using natural gas for transportation needs could replace one-third of the United States' imported oil and would save more than $230 billion a year, Pickens said.
"We are going to have to do something different in America," Pickens told CNN. "You can't keep paying out $600 billion a year for oil."

THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE.....

PEOPLE WITH LOTS OF MONEY TALKING TO THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE MONEY TO DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE WITH THE MONEY SO THAT WE DON'T KEEP GIVING THE MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T BASICALLY LIKE US.

WIND FARMS FROM TEXAS TO SOUTH DAKOTA COULD PRODUCE AT LEAST 20% OF THE ENERGY NEEDED FOR THE UNITED STATES

Then each WINDMILL could be illuminated with multi-colored LEDs and the entire project could turn into a huge boom for tourism. A highway could be built next to the project and pretty soon small motels will appear and then roadside diners and then trailer parks and then McD's and then small towns in the middle of nowhere and then a high speed railroad so people could go from the southern tip of the project to the northern tip in about 30 minutes. It won't mean anything without the LED lights....keeping in mind that LEDs have millions of color changing properties because they are controlled by a semi-conductor.

It could be called the AMERICAN BOONEWINDFARM....which sounds like some cheap wine from the 70's....so maybe it could be called

WINDYBOONE RANCH
or
BOONEWINDY
or
T.BOONEWINDMASTER PARK

Oh this could go on and on and on.....but you get my drift.

The main problem with this project has to do with a small statement that Mr. Pickens made while discussing the project.

"IF WE GET CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION TO ACT QUICKLY....then this plan could make a difference in 5 to 10 years."

Oh yeah and one other small part of the equation.....what do the oil companies receive from such a project? And we are all adults here and we know that if the oil companies don't approve or get something then the entire idea simply

DIES.....and you know it and I know it and there's not a damn thing to do about it.......

UNLESS THE BOONE TRAIN STARTS FILLING UP WITH MORE CASH COW VOICES.....MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCOMOTIVE....ABLE TO LEAP TALL BUILDINGS....

......SUCH AS WILLIAM GATES, WHO JUST RETIRED, AND STEVE JOBS WHO JUST LIKES TO MAKE NOISE AND LARRY ELLISON WHO JUST LIKE TO SPEND MONEY AND WARREN BUFFET WHO PROBABLY OWNS ALL THE LAND BETWEEN TEXAS AND SOUTH DAKOTA......ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

IF SOME OF THE PEOPLE LISTED ABOVE ...OR ALL OF THE PEOPLE LISTED ABOVE JUMPED ON THE T. BOONE WINDTRAIN....IT COULD HAPPEN...

AND IT COULD HAPPEN FOR ONE SIMPLE REASON...and that small little reason
is.....

IT SHOULD HAPPEN

it should happen!

IT SHOULD HAPPEN!

IT SHOULD HAPPEN!

I think it should happen could be the next great slogan.....MAYBE I'LL COPYRIGHT IT AND SELL IT TO NIKE AND THEN I COULD JOIN THE...

T.BOONE WINDTRAIN ALONG THE PLAIN PROJECT

THEY COULD USE SOMEONE LIKE ME.....SOMEONE STARTING FROM ZERO....NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE LISTED ABOVE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MONEY TREE....AND i CAN HELP THEIR PERSPECTIVE...

it should happen!

and it should happen makes so much more sense then it will happen because there are no guarantees... and so many things should happen
but
that doesn't mean
they will....

but it's all about the dream....and this morning Mr. T. Boone Pickens slightly elevated the ESS (energy solving solution) dream....now if we could get T. Boone to concentrate on the CCD problem then we are really talking big stuff....

....and by the way...


IT SHOULD HAPPEN!
