Ribar looks over Pickens
2008 July 18
UNC-G economist Dave Ribar has an examination of T. Boone Pickens energy plan. I saw the commercials over the 4th holiday, but I forgot to check out the plan.
*Pickens further advocates using the new generation capacity from the wind turbines to replace power plants that run on natural gas and reallocating the natural gas freed up from power generation to natural gas vehicles. He estimates that these measures could reduce U.S. imports of oil by a third.*
Seem like a feasible wing of a multi-front strategy.
