Pickens: Kudos to Obama on Fed Fleet Memo

T. Boone Pickens, the founder of the Pickens Plan to reduce America’s dependence on OPEC oil, today issued a statement congratulating President Barack Obama on his Presidential memo which orders that that by December 31st 2015, all new light duty vehicles leased or purchased by agencies must be alternative fueled vehicles.

Boone’s statement read:

“I applaud President Obama for the Federal Fleet Memorandum issued today, calling for the use of alternative fuel vehicles in the Federal fleet. This is the leadership we need on this critically important issue – we simply have to get America off OPEC oil. This is a great move and I hope the President’s next step will be to lobby Congress to pass the NAT GAS Act – HR 1380 – which will reduce our dependence on OPEC oil, improve our national security and help our economy grow.”
