Support T. Boone Pickens Plan Now!

National Review had an article about the Pickens Plan this week pointing out the many problems with it, i.e. 20% is the maximum the engineers believe can be incorporated due to its unstable and unpredictable nature making it very difficult to match supply with demand (that is why the Dutch stopped building wind turbines)

Coincidentally, the Dutch get about 20% of their electricity from wind turbines. There is nothing unstable or unpredictable about the wind conditions in the types of places targeted for wind turbines.

All those commercials and all he can get is 115k? americansolutions.com has 1.5 million! At 58 million for the ad campaign, he has spent $504 per signature! Not a bad investment if he can get congress to give him the billions he'll need in subsidies to get this going...

Actually, we have plenty of natural gas even without wind turbines. We just need the pipelines to get it to where it is needed.

Would a major newspaper editorialize with surprise that "even Kraft Foods says we need to eat more macaroni and cheese"? Would guests on The McLaughlin Group get away with saying that "even Budweiser is lobbying for more beer consumption"?

Then why do talking heads and journalists exclaim with surprise that "even T. Boone Pickens" is lobbying for greater U.S. reliance on wind power? Don't they know he owns the largest wind farm in the world?
The "Pickens Plan," the legendary oilman's public relations and lobbying blitz billed as a way to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, has its virtues and its flaws, but it should be presented in an honest light -- a billionaire heavily invested in currently unprofitable (without subsidies) wind power wants the government to further subsidize, mandate or otherwise help wind power be more profitable.
