Reply #11: I like Pickens' Plan not because of the idea of replacing nat gas power

[Subdivisions]

generation with wind and using that nat gas to fuel autos, but because it's at least some sort of plan, which noone else has. And, it's a pretty decent plan.

The only problem is that if you transition the motor fleet to nat gas, eventually nat gas will follow the same production profile as oil is following, that being a parabolic curve of increasing production, plateauing, than irreversible decline. That is expected to occur around 2025 without Pickens' Plan. Using wind for power generation so that transportation can use the nat gas is, at best, a temporary band-aid on our energy conundrum.
