  • One nuclear energy proponent said about Hydrogen/Oxygen HHO SOLAR, "You can't kill enemies with a squirt gun. It took war motivation to deveolpe gas oil nukes... fasc dscn

  • A great man of the free world working to save America and Americans! Wonderful thing.

  • did you not watch the whole video? 98% of the natural gas used in homes is domestic, meaning only 2% is imported which produces 22% of the US's energy. Pickens wants to get wind energy up to 22% to replace natural gas which will be used pretty much exclusively for transportation fuels.

  • The U.S. is importing 70% of the oil required to run its economy. Switching to natural gas for transportation wouldn't solve anything since the U.S. is NOT self-sufficient when it comes to natural gas. This means that a big part of his plan would be to switch from importing a lot of oil to importing a lot of natural gas... (?) If I got this wrong, please let me know what I am missing.

  • Nuclear power is not renewable either. Also, If we were really serious about eliminating dependence on foreign sources of energy, then we should take a close look at nuclear power too. Today, we import 84% of our uranium from countries like Kazakhstan, Australia and Canada. The majority of the rest is coming from the downblending of highly enriched uranium from nuclear weapons. Most people don't know that peak uranium will happen fairly soon too.

  • I'm all about reducing foreign oil consumption!  In fact, why stop there, let's keep working to toatally eliminate the requirements of oil as an energy source..period!...And all others forms of energy that are not renewable.

  • wrong , First Solar, stock synbol FSLR has gone thru the roof because its making a profit world wide without government subsidies.

    Hemp could replace a large portion, NaturalGas is already working,,, KEEP LOOKING AND JOIN PICKENSPLANdotCOM

  • Jimbol51, I agree. The big oil companies and the nuclear industry is being heavily subsidized by the Federal government. And, yes, the lobbyists make sure they keep those incentives. But in order to push for energy independence, we need more renewables. Many renewables lost their subsidies or never had them such as damless hydro, geothermal, solar-thermal, solar, and wind.
