T Boone Pickens is only interested in money. He could care less about the climate. He made his money in oil and now that oil is out of fashion, like a good businessman, he goes to the next great line of services for mankind. I can't even imagine the taxpayer subsidies that he will get for his wind turbines as a new energy source. I expect that all the land he will get to lease from the government will be free and clear also.

I don’t understand why the government gets involved in everything. Why do we even have subsidies and rebates? They don’t work and they aren’t Constitutional and they’re socialistic in nature. But I agree, he’s in it for the money. I don’t know how efficient wind is but solar is around 25%. Personally I think as a business (assuming you have a flat enough roof with sun access) solar is a great idea but only because it’s making use of room that would have otherwise not been utilized.
