Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens explains the first part of his plan to end U.S. dependence on foreign oil: harness wind power to supply 20 percent of the nation's electricity. The ad ran in Illinois, Kencky, Texas, Wisconsin and on cable.
Mr. Pickens is a true patriot who deserves our attention. His challanges and struggles to inspire each of us to realize and accept our responsiability of helping relieve ourselves of excess foreign oil dependency , if heeded, offers hope of a better quality of life for ourselves and future generations of Americans.
