Is There a "Best Way" to Invest in Wind Power?

In less than 5 minutes Mr. Pickens can say more than the whole presidential primary race. And even after the camera stops rolling it only takes him a few more seconds to roll out most of phase 2!!

Attractive electric cars are less than 1 year away. 4 wheel versions are a little bland due to safety laws. 3 wheel versions are exotic and generating a lot of interest because they only have to measure up to motorcycle safety guidelines.

Add solar heat which is already economically viable and maybe solar PV with a little more improvement over the next couple years and his pie charts look great.

100% solar hot water alone would reduce U.S. energy demand by 4%. That alone is 3 years energy growth stabilized to execute Pickens' plan. Solar hot water pays 6% ROI with uninflated energy costs before subsidies. Add in minimal 2%/yr energy inflation, the lifetime ROI more than doubles.

Leadership, education, cooperation can get it done!
