The Pickens Plan with T. Boone Pickens

   

The Pickens Plan with T. Boone Pickens - January 6th, 2009

4:00pm - 5:30pm
Shell Auditorium, Jones School of Business

The Energy Forum of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy in conjunction with the Energy & Environmental Systems Institute, the Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology and the Center for the Study of Environment and Society at Rice Universityinvite you to attend an energy town hall meeting to discuss The Pickens Plan. The Pickens Plan proposes measures to utilize U.S. wind and natural gas to build a bridge to the future, a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives and buying time for the United States to develop even greater new technologies. The plan calls for generating 22 percent of our electricity needs through wind power and using the displaced natural gas for transportation fuel. According to plan estimates, a combination of these domestic energies could replace 30 percent to 50 percent of U.S. foreign-oil imports over the next 10 years. Please RSVP by e-mail to Baker Institute Student Forum President Aurelia Chaudhury at ac5@rice.edu on or before Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Seating is limited; 100 student tickets will be distributed by the Baker Institute through a lottery system.
