Pickens Leans into the Wind

โ€œYou need a giant plan for America. Not the pissant 83 megawatt [windfarm] deals being stamped all over the country. There needs to be a huge plan from someone with leadership. It’s going to take years to do, but it has to startย now.โ€

Al Gore? Nope. Too plain-spoken. This quote comes from oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens, an erstwhile Bush supporter who is bankrolling a Texas windfarm that will be five times bigger than the current world-recordย holder.

Is Pickens a sudden convert to what the denier community calls global warming โ€œdogmaโ€? Notย hardly.

โ€œDon’t get the idea that I’ve turned green,โ€ Pickens recently told the Guardian in the Dallas offices of his new venture Mesa Power. โ€œMy business is making money, and I think this is going to make a lot ofย money.โ€

Gotta like capitalists withย vision.
