For the record, when it comes to energy I am a fan of the Pickens Plan in philosphy, which is building an energy bridge to the future. I'm not convinced over the viability of wind energy because of the real estate and logistics of such an endeavor being prohibitive, but I love the fact that the plan is multi-faceted involving both carbon and alternative sources. We need a comprehensive plan.
