Pickens is a smart guy, which is why he donates money to
AmSpec (consider that our obligatory disclosure). I'm not
entirely sure what to think about his plan; my tentative view is that
wind and natural gas will play a big part in the future of American
energy, but not necessarily in exactly the way Pickens
envisions.
Jon Henke has some worthwhile if
disjointed thoughts, along with some links worth following.
