T. Boone Pickens, in his never ending quest to die with more money than he can spend, is looking at buying even more resource diverting
wind turbines to pollute the landscape of West Texas.
T. Boone Pickens' Mesa Power LLP placed a $2 billion order for 667 wind turbines with General Electric to build the world's largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle, the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.
That's just great. I'm sure he needs some kind of write-off when he's sucked the land of all its
water.The wind farm would produce 1,000 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 300,000 homes.
By 2014, Pickens has said he wants to have 4,000 MW of wind power.
Well that's just super. How many gas/coal fired plants will be able to be taken off the grid with wind power?
Zero. I hope the counties that are falling for this ponzi scheme enjoy Pickens' tax break.
