Not just the biggest wind farm ever ... the biggest whatever ever!

T. Boone Pickens, oilman or windbag?

Whatever else "it" might be, "it" will at least be the largest public policy ad campaign ever--bigger than "Just say no!" and "Ban the bomb!" together.

To be honest, I had never even heard much about T. Boone Pickens' wind farm or anything else he has done in recent years until my brother Richard in Connecticut sent me a couple of his YouTube and Pickens-website videos and the address to Pickens' website's homepage promoting renewable energy sources, primarily wind.

He refers to the US as the "Saudi Arabia of wind"--a phrase that bears some looking into inasmuch as a national wind resource inventory taken by the U.S. Department of Energy in 1991 (while I was lolling in the Saudi sand enjoying the oil money in Saudi Arabia, as it just so happens) shocked the world when it reported that the three most wind-rich states-—North Dakota, Kansas, and Texas—-had enough harnessable wind energy to satisfy all of America's electricity needs.

Now a new study by a team of engineers at Stanford reports that the harnessable wind energy there and elsewhere in America is far, far more enormous than first believed.

I'll let you listen to Pickens himself presenting a 10-minute white-board talk that clearly shows the possibilities of the new energy revolution just ahead. Grab a beer, click on this paragraph and then just sit back and be prepared to be seriously stunned.

Whatcha think?
