T. Boone for VP?
Yesterday, Barack Obama met with longtime conservationist and oilman T. Boone Pickens. They met to discuss strategies for developing alternative energy.
Obama reportedly praised Pickens as a legendary entrepreneur, and said, “One of the things I think we have to unify the country around is having an intelligent energy policy. … That’s what we’re going to be talking about.”
Pickens is bankrolling a wind energy campaign. A critic of U.S. dependence on oil and a champion of wind power and other alternative energy forms, he has vowed to spend $58 million to promote his “Pickens Plan,” which calls for the U.S. to generate 22% of its power through wind generation and other sources.
Pickens also met with McCain in Colorado last week to discuss his plan.
If Pickens becomes this election’s new Chaney…will be be Dem or GOP?
