Investor T. Boone Pickens spoke in the National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas and he talked to CNBC about his energy plan. For him, anything -- wind, solar, natural gas – anything reduces our reliance on foreign oil is a step forward to achieve national security in energy:





Pickens lists the pillars to the Pickens Plan in the website http://www.pickensplan.com/:

1. Create millions of new jobs by building out the capacity to generate up to 22 percent of our electricity from wind. And adding to that with additional solar generation capacity;


2. Building a 21st century backbone electrical transmission grid;


3. Providing incentives for homeowners and the owners of commercial buildings to upgrade their insulation and other energy saving options; and


4. Using America's natural gas to replace imported oil as a transportation fuel in addition to its other uses in power generation, chemicals, etc.
