The geologist pumped millions of his own cash to put together the Pickens Plan in an attempt to divert Americans from relying on foreign oil. He asks that we build wind generation facilities to generate 20 percent of America's electricity. This approach will create new jobs, benefit the environment and improve energy efficiency.
