StormWarning’s Counterterrorism

Bob Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind” was an anthem of my college years, Today, however, no less than T. Boone Pickens has concluded, that in fact, the answer is blowing in the wind. Alterative, renewable energy…all from natural air currents. Of course, environmentalists object to the large propeller towers because birds that fly into them, don’t fly out. The fact that some people do not believe that the plan will work, the Pickens Plan is to unlock the country from dependence on foreign oil by harnessing wind power.

“Sometimes it takes a crisis to awaken us from our slumber,” … “But once aroused, the American people can accomplish miracles”

With $58 million of his own fortune, Pickens plans to build the world’s largest wind farm in West Texas. There are plenty of detractors. The question is whether anyone is capable of proving Pickens wrong.

However, I continue to wonder why so many people object to exploration of renewable energy to unshackle at least part of our oil dependency. And if that is the case, why we wouldn’t also be serious about exploring the enormous power and energy generated by the waves in the oceans of the world.
