T. Boone Pickens at the DNC
The oil man has a plan. T. Boone Pickens is in Denver this week to pitch the media and politicos on his "Pickens Plan." He says the plan would reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing wind and solar power and switching to natural gas for vehicles. Pickens predicts ten trillion dollars will be spent on foreign oil in the next decade. And he says that's something we can't afford.
Take a listen to this excerpt from a talk Pickens gave to bloggers in the Big Tent.
Pickens says he's spoken with Barack Obama and President Bush about his plan. He says he's launched a media blitz around his campaign to get millions of Americans involved and stress the urgency of the energy crisis. He predicts oil prices could reach two to three-hundred dollars a barrel in the coming years. Critics of the Pickens Plan say the move is really intended to increase the oil man's wealth.--Eric Mack, Denver CO
