Wind Power to Displace Natural Gas for Electricity, Natural Gas to Power Cars: The Pickens Plan

You won’t find any commentary in this post on T. Boone Pickens’ vision of how wind energy can replace natural gas for electricity generation, the natural gas saved can be used to power cars, and thus freeing the United States from some of its dependence on foreign oil. Though there certainly is much to comment upon, I just want you to watch Pickens present his vision first. Deconstruction and commentary will follow in a subsequent post.
