T. Boone Pickens, oilman, businessman, billionaire, has announced a plan and started a campaign to reduce our dependence on imported oil by one third and to do it in ten years. Pickens is putting his money where his mouth is and investing in wind energy as well as starting a campaign that he says will put his face and his plan on TV as much as the presidential candidates this fall.

There is a lot to like about his plan. Pickens believes that this type of development is crucial to the future of our country. He believes that it must be bipartisan and that it has to be addressed by the presidential candidates.

Pickens believes that wind power will provide the energy needed to run a great part of our country and he is investing in a huge wind energy plant to prove it. There has been a great deal of discussion and investment in wind power in Maine with support from former governor Angus King and current Governor Baldacci. Although Pickens is spending his money in Texas, Maine is positioned to generate a substantial amount of wind energy.
