The Green Buck Stops Here

Oil tycoon, T. Boone Pickens, Jr., is investing $10 billion in wind power. When his project is finished in about four years, he will have the world’s largest wind farm that will produce enough electricity to power 1 million homes.

He hasn’t converted for the sake of the environment, he’s doing it to make money and that’s o.k. He knows that oil is a finite resource and trying to get enough oil to meet our demands is putting our national security at risk.

My kudos go to him, not only for his project but because he is showing by example that it just makes good business sense to use clean, renewable energy. When someone as accomplished as T. Boone Pickens talks, people listen.
