If I say I’m a wind man, you will agree

Upon the launch of T. Boone Pickens’ $58 million PR campaign, I was simultaneously intrigued and put off. After all, the Texas billionaire was single-handedly responsible for tarnishing John Kerry’s military service forever. Yet there he is, taking over the airwaves, and trying to lead the charge on an issue I care deeply about.
Considering his influence with Red State conservatives and the enormous blue chip capital he brings to the table, I’ve begun to set my prejudices aside and change my thinking entirely: he is exactly the right kind of person to change the nature of our current energy dialog.
The Pickens Plan just passed the 1 million supporter-mark earlier this week through the grassroots power of the internet — an odd marriage if there ever was one. I guess Americans love cowboys almost as much as they love tales of redemption. So give Daniel Plainview’s heir apparent a few moments of your time and check out some of the highlights of the Pickens Plan.
