The Dallas Morning News is carrying an article this morning about Wal-Mart and T. Boone Pickens teaming up to make Wal-Mart more energy efficient.
A Thanksgiving week article by Elizabeth Souder started with: “Wal-Mart Stores Inc. could become the poster child for the Pickens plan.”
Boone told the Morning News that “he has met with Wal-Mart chief executive Lee Scott about converting the company’s fleet of 7,200 trucks to natural gas.
“A Wal-Mart spokesman said the company is considering the idea, as well as other alternative fuels. Those are key planks in Mr. Pickens’ plan to get the U.S. off foreign oil.”
Wal-Mart announced earlier that it has struck a deal with Duke Energy to buy 226 million kilowatt-hours a year “enough to power 18,000 homes” for its Texas facilities.
