The Picken’s Plan

The Pickens Plan is a bridge to the future — a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives, and buy us time to develop even greater new technologies.

Oil has peaked, production is in decline. 
America will spend $10 trillion over ten years for foreign oil.
America makes up 25% of world oil demand.

Wind Power

The Great Plains States contain the largest potential wind energy in the world.

Wind is cheaper than oil.
Wind is domestic
Building wind farms will produce jobs and stimulate the economy

Natural gas could be shifted from the production of electricity to a transportation fuel.

Building new wind generation facilities and better utilizing our natural gas resources can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports in 10 years.

On January 20th, 2009, a new President will take office.

Many are organizing behind the Pickens Plan now to ensure their voices will be heard by the next administration.

During the first 100 days of Congress, Plan supporters want legislation to be passed creating policies that embrace domestic energy alternatives to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Between now and then, supporters need to build an army to ensure our voices will be heard by the next Administration and Congress.


Questions for Congress
o Do you agree that we need to slash our foreign oil dependence by
   at least 30% within 10 years?   
o Do you agree that we need to generate at least 20% of our
   electricity from domestic renewable sources by 2019? 
o Do you agree that we need to have incentives in place to get
   these technologies installed and operational within 10 years?  
o Do you agree that private enterprise should provide the
   investment and execute the deployment with government clearing  
   the way?  
o Do you agree with the Pickens Plan? 

An event called August Call-to-Action on Push.PickensPlan.com is where everyone can report the results of their outreach.

We Are in a Crisis
Our dependence on foreign oil forms the intersection of the three most critical issues America currently faces: the economy, the environment and our national security.
