Picken's Plan

I read an article about the Pickens Plan. T Boone Pickens is a billionaire philanthropist that is proposing the use of renewable energy in the form of windmills and natural gas. I thought the article was interesting because he's try to sell his idea to the entire country claiming that he's worried about the environment and that we should have a plan. He believes this is the solution, claiming that he does not care about the money he's going to make if his idea is adopted. In the article it mentions that his plan will only replace oil with natural gas which is still not going to help the environment, "Skeptics of the plan said the renewable energy portion is good, but Pickens forgets about a bigger problem related to the environment. "This is not a comprehensive plan that addresses climate change and he's talking about replacing oil with natural gas – one expensive hydrocarbon for another," skeptic Andy Wilson said.
