The T. Boone Express touched down in Nashville the other night for a town hall meeting. This one was different because it wasn’t in a large hall with thousand of people. I was invited to be on the RFD television network by its founder and CEO, Patrick Gottsch.
The show was hosted by Orion Samuelson who has been in radio and television about as long as I’ve been in oil and gas.
One important thing we do at every event is talk to the local press. These press conferences are very well attended and help the folks in the local are fell like they are part of the Pickens Plan process.
In addition to the thousands and thousands of viewers, there were about a hundred people in the audience including a bunch of young people from FFA and 4-H clubs in the region.
I was glad to have them there because they’re learning the business of agriculture so they understood the deal when I talked about wind turbines on farm and ranch land in the wind corridor.
I did the white board lecture – the same one I do in the large town halls – and we took questions from the audience. But we also took calls from viewers around the country which I think made for an interesting night for the viewers.
One of the really good things Patrick did was to run as commercials the finalists in the Pickens Plan video contest. Remember we invited members of the New Energy Army to send in your videos. We chose six of them to be finalists. And we’ve just announced the winner. It’s the video by Harry Groome which you can watch by clicking HERE!
