RSVP for Energy Town Hall Meeting with T. Boone Pickens
I'm a little late on this announcement, probably because I'm less than enthusiastic about T. Boone Pickens and his motives. Somehow, it's hard for me to trust Pickens, who was one of the primary funders of the swiftboating of John Kerry and other nefarious efforts to smear Democrats. This Alternet article, called "Why T. Boone Pickens' 'Clean Energy' Plan Is a Ponzi Scheme," does a good job of delineating my other reasons for doubt. Yes, T. Boone is into wind farms these days, which is all to the good, but it helps to probe a little deeper to catch a glimpse of what he may really be up to, and why. Water and natural gas equal currency in Boone's world. Anyway, he's coming to town this week so you can take a measure of the man and his plan for yourself.
Please join T. Boone Pickens for an Energy Town Hall Meeting where he will discuss his plan and take questions from the audience:.
Wednesday, September 10th, 10:30 AM (Doors Open 9:30 AM)
No ticket required, open to the public

Why not make every home and office building or every so many blocks create their own energy on site via solar, wind or other means? Why this emphasis on producing energy at a centralized location and building massive long distance transmission lines to carry it to other places?
Too bad the piggish and corrupt energy corps like PNM are most concerned about finding new ways to make money when alternative energy comes in. The govt needs to act now to stop that approach.

I agree, and I'm going to use your idea in a post soon.
