regarding mr pickens and those ads -->

just a quick note. t boone pickens' plan (if you don't know what it is, click on one of those ads -->) is doing a lot of good in terms of getting the entire country to wake up and pay attention to our current energy problems.

while i don't think his plan is flawless, i think it's a step in the right direction towards better energy sources for our power grid. by adding that many wind farms between canada and texas, we will surely be getting more power from a better, cleaner source. i think his plan to use these savings (monetary and with nat gas) for powering ngv's like honda's civic is a bit of a stretch. while natural gas is certainly a nice alternative to crude oil from opec, i think we need to focus on moving towards transportation that relies fully on renewable, clean energy sources. natural gas may be a nice intermediate step, but along with non-food agro products, i don't see it as a viable long term source.

still, t boone certainly has gotten more people to start thinking about moving in the right direction, which in this case is a good thing.
