Whether you think it’s ingenious or isolationist, you can read more about his plan for U.S. energy independence at PickensPlan.com.
T. Boone Pickens was at the National Press Club Monday afternoon to give a very entertaining luncheon speech about his passion for the American energy independence and explain why he would pledge some of his personal fortune to educate the public of the need for alternative energy sources.
“After all I paid for ’em, it would be heartbreaking to ask for a show of hands and only see half of ’em raised,” he said of his personally funded television ad spots.
As much as I enjoyed hearing T. Boone speak, it was just as fascinating to eavesdrop on the musings around the room. I’m looking forward to reading my signed copy of the “The First Billion is the Hardest” in hopes that his writings will be as humorous, yet as thought-provoking as his speech.
Proceeds from his efforts on tour and book sales at the luncheon were contributed to Fisher House and Brooke Army Medical.
