Delays Continue for Pickens’ Texas Panhandle Wind Farm
Apparently the delays for T. Boone’s massive wind farm project in the Texas panhandle are not going to end anytime soon. Earth2Tech reports that at the Clean Tech Investor Summit on Wednesday, Pickens said that his wind farm would likely be delayed at least to 2011. But that even then, Pickens warned, “We’ll see what happens in 2-3 years.”
Earth2Tech notes that although the credit crisis has put a damper on Pickens’ own wind farm project, he is still pushing hard for the country to adopt the Pickens Plan, reiterating his argument that with a $28 billion investment, the U.S. could convert 350,000 diesel trucks to natural gas, which would reduce oil imports by 5% and create nearly half a million jobs.

i commend Mr. Pickens for putting his money where his mouth is,i think the rest of the world need to join his efforts and excuse their selves of the GREED FACTOR,many of the shakers and movers in the the position to make a difference, are essentially the ones benefiting from the world’s current economic crisis.company’s that make huge revenues from the blood,sweat and tears of struggling (EXXON) americans desearves to see financial hardship and if possible,it’s own demise because of the GREED FACTOR. and when i speak of the greed factor,i speak of the greed for more of what u dont need, from those that need a little of what you already have.i think if the brains with the $bucks$ would would set aside their GREED FACTOR and look at the world as something their also a part of too, and realize that if this world fails economically,they would be the target of all the have-nots,put a lion in a cage with a stake and dare him not to eat-it.thats the path that (we) the world are heading.MR.pickens plans got derailed for the monent because too many of the ones that could help,are the one that are making the laws or have a law maker(congressman)in their pockets.that’s what this world don’t need,more controllers with a severe case of the GREED FACTOR.
