Have you seen T. Boone Pickens on television promoting his plan to make the United States energy independent via wind power and natural gas?
Click on the title line above to go to his blog and read more of his plan.
Sunday one of his commercial spots played right before Meet the Press aired with Al Gore as the featured guest. Gore believes we can be completely energy independent in ten years.

Fascinating conversation. 
One thing I know for sure. Something is up when Boone Pickens and Al Gore are in agreement!
All week I've been thinking about the potential opportunity for my low-income, struggling friends here in inner city Dallas.
What if we could bring together a plan in our city for the development of a whole new industry that demanded the creation of thousands of "green collar" jobs?

By that I mean new jobs in the energy production and conservation business that no longer depend on fossil fuels. You know: solar panels, retro-fitting public buildings, installation, manufacturing, maintenance, landscaping, water management, etc. Training our neighbors to work in this arena could radically alter the state of urban America.
There is no doubt in my mind that we are on the verge of a new day in this nation when it comes to energy. I just don't want the poor to be bypassed in the amazing revolution that appears to be upon us.
We're working on it.
