Pickens backs off wind farm project: report - Yahoo! News

I'm amazed in that massize global warming bill did not have any money for Pickens' project. i guess he was relying on the government to pay for that.

I don't think he is done with this yet...with that said, I'm not sure his project is going to be as successful as he would like...
