Anyway, some valid points are being made in this thread. I don't agree with everything in his plan and I think some additional elements need to be added as well... but we will market that as the Sly Plan.
All in all... even if it is for personal profit, this guy is doing something. Is anybody else?
If there was somebody like this in each of the renewable resources sectors, we could really see some crazy changes happening.

Really? So we already have cars that run on natural gas? That's news to me.

Why would we go to the trouble of switching our vehicle fleet from running on one expensive fossil fuel to another expensive fossil fuel? Any freed up natural gas should be used to displace coal?.

I don't have any real problems with wind power for electricity, but the bottom line on our energy crisis is that we need something to replace the internal combustion engine.
If we got 100% of our electricity from wind, nuclear, or whatever it still wouldn't affect our dependence on foreign oil much because what we use oil for is cars and trucks.
So Picken's plan is just that...a plan for Pickens....to make lots of money.
You also said this guy is doing something...is anyone else?
Yeah, all of the candidates who ran for president this year have energy plans. Lots of other groups have plans that are good plans...they just don't have the $$ Pickens has to advertise said plans.
