Army:

My new whiteboard video series has been a resounding success. So far, more than 50,000 people have tuned in to get the latest update on the Pickens Plan.

Today I want to share with you another installment in the video series that talks about the amount of money we are sending, and will continue to send, to OPEC nations for their oil if we don’t get onto our own resources.

Here’s the shorthand: We haven’t had an energy plan for 40 years. We are spending $365 billion a year to buy foreign oil.

In the next ten years, because we’ll be competing for OPEC oil with other large consumers of oil, we will be spending one TRILLION dollars a year for foreign oil.

We can’t afford what we’re spending now; we certainly won’t be able to afford a three-fold increase.

Watch the video below.
