T. Boone Pickens - The Pickens Plan

"America is in a hole and it's getting deeper every day. We import 70 percent of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war. I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of."

Energy Dependence Concerns 28 Years Ago!

T. Boone Pickens was not the first to recognize the problems facing the United States' dependence on foreign oil production. Here is a quote from Jimmy Carter, former US President, expressing his concerns of United States oil consumption and foreign oil dependence in 1980.

"The crises in Iran and Afghanistan have dramatized a very important lesson: Our excessive dependence on foreign oil is a clear and present danger to our Nation's security. The need has never been more urgent. At long last, we must have a clear, comprehensive energy policy for the United States."
- Jimmy Carter 1980
