The highly respected tech mag, “Wired” magazine has included T. Boone Pickens and the Pickens Plan as one of its “Top Ten Green-Tech Breakthroughs of 2008.”
Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens might be a lot of things, but environmentalist he is not. That’s why his support for a nationwide network of wind farms generated so much excitement. While his solution for transportation, natural gas vehicles, may not pan out, his Pickens Plan is the most visible alternative energy plan out there and it began to channel support from outside coastal cities for finding new sources of energy.
Among the other picks is new solar cell technology, green homes, and their number one pick: A new technology for making cement without the large amount of fossile fuel energy needed to produce cement in the traditional way.
