Renewable Energy - Pickens Plan

While traveling up to Lubbock on Friday (and back to Helotes today), we saw the huge wind electricity farms around Sweetwater. The number of wind turbines and the number being installed is just incredible. It also made me think of T Boone Picken's plan (see link, below) in which he is putting his money where his mouth is. One other thing it spurred us to do -- we signed up for CPS Energy Windtricity program to have 50% of our electricity come from wind. We have been a big proponent of conservation and renewable energy...and figured it was time we put our money where our mouth is...
