2008 by my recollection, right near the peak in crude. Too late for Bush to have acted on in any meaningful way. O met with Boone, but then dropped it. Maybe he's hoping Boone will kick the bucket, then adopt it as his own. Not wanting to give credit to righty........?

Why does Pickens have 600 bought and paid for Dutch giant windmills just sitting on the docks? The Pickens Plan seems to have failed. Is it Obama's fault?

He was ahead of his time. It takes time for the folks in charge to absorb good ideas. Usually, they get behind an idea after it has become a no-brainer. I'm hoping that more and more people will realize that we are the Saudi Arabia of NG and that the Pickens plan is a no-brainer. Hell, we already have cars that drive on NG. The next step would be to make NG/Electric hybrids and we'd have a solid gold solution. To me it's been a no-brainer for a long time. We could be oil independent if we had the will power to do it. For a fraction of the cost to bailout WS, we could have done it and it would have paid dividends for generations.
