Wind's Our Future, but Natural Gas Is Now

We just need an administration or organization(s) to combine forces and have the same collective vision to really make Pickens ideas a reality. There needs to be a real consensus here instead of all this silly arguing. This is a real chicken and egg scenario of infrastructure vs. the vehicles that use the infrastructure.

Like any systems approach, it won't go anywhere unless some influential architects can sell it to the public possibly by doing a pilot first or by filling in needed market niches such that eventually the entire puzzle is done.

Americans have a hard time cooperating in a team fashion as we are very individualistic. I would not be surprised if some Asian entrepreneurs take the lead here and pick the low lying fruit.

In Minnesota for example, we have an Indian company that set up a plant near Pipestone where they are building wind turbines.
