Comparing it to the days of Eisenhower and the Cold War, West Texas Oil Tycoon T. Boone Pickens says the United States needs to change and change now.
Pickens is proposing a multi billion dollar project to create wind turbine farms throughout the Midwest Corridor. He says the project will take ten years, but it will cut our dependency on foreign oil by one third.
While skeptics argue that the price tag may not give the results hoped for, Pickens has already put his money where his mouth is and has begun projects in the Texas Panhandle and North Texas.
Pickens says if politicians on Capital Hill take emergency action and private investors shell out the dow, he believes wind might just save the country from the our economic and energy woes.
