My plan is to make money“A fool with a plan is better than a genius with no plan, and we have no plan,”

said T. Boone Pickens Tuesday on ABC’s GMA speaking of his recommendation to produce a quarter of U. S. electricity with wind power and his proposal to build the biggest wind farm in American in Texas. He predicted $6-$8 a gallon for gasoline within a year. Pickens traced the current crisis back to President Nixon in the 1970s blaming every President since for the current crisis.

Critics have said wind energy is part of a solution but have environmental risks, and need to be part of a comprehensive solution. Others are suspicious that his proposal is profit motivated and too simplistic lacking comprehension.

Regardless of what you might think - Pickens has a plan.
