It's opportunism that is behind why most new technologies come from the U.S.A. It's a virtue. Bottom line: His plan is constructive and bipartisan. It makes sense. Even if the natural gas side of it fails to be transfered over to cars (there will need to be a lot more access to these stations...) because of consumer disinterest, we still will have a much cleaner alternative energy being used as a power source. | |

And when I got to looking at those damn things I said, I don't want to be a part of putting that on the horizon. I think it's homely and I don't like it. We took a loss and got out of it and I'm glad I did.” —T. Boone Pickens, Bloomberg, February 17, 2005 [source] Spanish Fork Utah Wind Turbines | Utah County Going Green The latest and greatest wind farm is in Utah, and it is a ripoff. The citizens of Spanish Fork gave up substantial tax revenue for 10 years and the power goes to California...... |

Lean: Moderate Gender: ![]() | Re: T. Boone Pickens and that is how it will get done....not that I disagree with it. We need to get off the dime, and if it comes out of our taxes, at least we will be getting something useful for what we pay, unlike our little war in Iraq... |

Furthermore, doesn't Picken's plan also have something about developing a way to store vast amounts of electricity? As I understand it, if we had some way of storing huge amounts of electricity, we could essentially store up huge amounts of excess and then when the sun goes down or the wind stops blowing transfer energy from these batteries. Furthermore, if we could develops such a power system we could let hydro plants run all of the time instead of using them when needed. Of course we'd also need a more efficient method of transferring power across our grid. | |
