"W"We have been a leadership adviser to more than 100 billionaire entrepreneurs. One hundred percent of them have an oversized sense of what is possible, what can be achieved, often when others don't. (T. Boone) Pickens is no exception. He had four major ups and downs throughout his career, any one of which would have knocked the wind out of a mere mortal. I found his persistence inspiring."

Geoff Smart, CEO of Denver-based ghSmart, a management assessment firm for private-equity investors, in USA Today

    Eight-year-old Stillwater native Brodie Myers, one of 16 finalists in a kid reporter contest on NBC's Today Show, introduces T. Boone Pickens during a Pickens Plan Town Hall meeting on the Oklahoma State University campus October 29, 2009. The Pickens Plan:
    Taking stock of where we are

    More and more people are expressing views that track with the Pickens Plan. On December 27, during what is called the “Meet the Press Roundtable,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made the Pickens Plan case by talking about the need for energy independence.
    This discussion was in the context of the failed attack on an airliner on Christmas day, but Bloomberg echoed what Boone Pickens has been saying for the past 17 months: We are funding both sides of this war and we are transferring our wealth to people who don’t like us very much.

    Read what Mayor Bloomberg said on the point of importing too much foreign oil.
