Nixon said in 1970 that the US was importing 20% of its oil and that by 1980, it would be 0%. That didn't happen. It went to 42% in 1991, and it's just under 70% now. A lot of the trouble we're in is caused by our dependency on foreign oil.
T. Boone Pickens, a legendary Texas oilman, corporate raider, shareholder rights crusader, philanthropist, and deep-pocketed moneyman for conservative politician and causes, presented the Pickens Plan today. He wants to cut USA's demand for foreign oil by more than a third in less than a decade. Wind power should drive the shift away from oil. By launching a massive ad and awareness campaign, he will force the presidential candidates to talk about this.
One of his stongest supporters are the Sierra Club. They don't usually see eye to eye, but in wind they found a common cause.
