The Pickens Plan is Dead

A year ago today I wrote about T. Boone Pickens' energy plan
The plan itself seems to put a lot of emphasis on wind power and natural gas. I'm a little skeptical about the wind part, but the natural gas part sounds good for the short term. I would like to look a little closer on the practicality of wind power.

Now it seems the plan is dead
HOUSTON – Plans for the world's largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle have been scrapped, energy baron T. Boone Pickens said Tuesday, and he's looking for a home for 687 giant wind turbines.

Sorry to hear that. I guess every billionaire is entitled to a Spruce Goose or two.
