You know that guy from TV, the former Texas Oil man that's always talking about alternative energy sources and reducing America's dependence on foreign oil? Of course you do, he used to be on every commercial. His name is T. Boone Pickens, and he is speaking at W&L tonight. NFL commissioner one week, Oil billionaire the next, you get it all at W&L.
Here is a little about Pickens:
Founder and chairman of BP Capital Management, one of the nation’s most successful energy-oriented investment funds, the 80-year-old Pickens has gained the reputation as the “Oracle of Oil” for his accurate predictions of oil and gas prices.
In July 2008, he launched an ambitious, self-funded grass-roots campaign aimed at reducing America’s dependence on imported oil. He has argued in a national television ad campaign, in personal appearances and on his Web site that the nation’s dependence on foreign oil threatens the economy, the environment and national security.
The Pickens Plan, which has more than a million supporters, calls for wind generation facilities to produce 20 percent of the nation’s electricity and for natural gas to fuel vehicles.
Like I said, you get it all at W&L, as we are truly the total college package, where you can experience everything!
