Nobody could have predicted:

T. Boone Pickens has cut his massive order for wind turbines from GE by more than half.

The energy investor, who made wind power a key part of his plan to wean Americans off foreign oil, said Tuesday he will now take delivery of 300 turbines, which he will use for wind farms in Canada and Minnesota.

None of the turbines will come to Texas, as originally planned.

Meanwhile, Pickens continues his campaign to persuade Americans to use natural gas to fuel heavy trucks, rather than diesel. Doing so, he said, could cut Middle East oil imports in half.

I’m not a fan of T. Boone Pickens or the Pickens Plan. I think he is a scam artist, and I don’t think converting our vehicle fleet to natural gas engines is viable. Read more here:
