The Pickens Plan has created a buzz in the media. A story of an “oil” man now focusing on sustainable sources.
The Plan calls for building new wind generation facilities that will produce 20% of our nation’s electricity and allow us to use natural gas as a transportation fuel. The combination of these domestic energies can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports. And we can do it all in 10 years.

POISON IVY is one of those weeds proliferating like mad as rising levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide heat up the atmosphere. Researchers at Duke University who studied the weed between 1999 and 2004 in a controlled forest area near Chapel Hill, N.C., where high levels of CO2 are pumped into test plots, found that poison ivy not only grew more vigorously, but also produced a more toxic form of urushiol, the resin that causes its rash.
So let’s reduce our carbon footprint to fight poison ivy. Reducing carbon emissions - a much better solution than an herbicide.
