I saw a paid ad on the local tube featuring T. Boone reciting some sobering and scary figures related to our dependence of foreign oil. But--praise the Lord--T. Boone has a plan that will save us.

I keyed pickensplan on my search and went to the web site that explains it all in detail. 80 year old T. Boone is building a huge wind energy farm. It represents an investment of billions and will make a projected profit of 10 to 15%. Good for him; I hope he has gone one better and figured out a way to take it with him. 

My question is why does T. Boone need popular support for a business venture? Why can't he simply wind-generate the juice and sell it? Is T. Boone preaching hype for Mesa Energy or practical solutions for the energy crisis? He did warn that we are not "going to drill our way out" of this crisis. That, I'm afraid, is not hype.
