Question

Are you in favor of the Pickens Plan? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Not really. I admire the effort.....but wind power is NOT much of an energy source. It can't be stored.

USA needs to DRILL, DRILL, DRILL!!!!!

Answer 2

I agree with him that we need to do everything including drilling.

Answer 3

I haven't seen Picken's plan...just his ads.  Those are pretty short on details.

Answer 4

No.... the idea is to get subsidies to make the wind farms competitive.. (not just Pickens, all alternative energy)... That money has to come from somewhere.. it will end up costing you (and me) in the long run. The same is true of ethanol... It would never be in the fuel supply on its own merits...

We do need alternative energy (in addition to more drilling for our own oil) but not at the taxpayers expense... let the best methods win out in the market place by being better... not because it's supported with tax money.

Answer 5

Pickens plan is great because we need to get off oil

the only problem with his plan is he owns all the water rights so wind power will be sold from him to states which in return will cost the people as much as gas or oil
