Man, I guess I am on a Pickens kick.
This time though, the focus is on T. Boone Pickens, the oil tycoon turned renewable. He has launched a nationwide campaign to promote alternative fuel sources to help America quit its addiction to foreign oil. You may have seen his commercials aired on the television.
He is currently in hot pursuit of wind energy and is in the midst of creating the world’s largest wind farm in Texas. The farm near Sweetwater, Texas, will produce 4,000 megawatts of wind power, enough to double the United States’ wind energy output.
