Gov. Brad Henry on Pickens Plan
A few days ago, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett talked to someone from the Pickens Plan Web site about the city’s view of the plan to develop a comprehensive national energy plan. Today, Gov. Brad Henry weighs in.
We are in the process of encouraging, facilitating and incentivising the development of the all-important transmission lines—the grid —to get power from the remote areas of the state into the urban areas that use the power. This is one of the many places where Oklahoma is really exactly in line with the Pickens Plan.
Henry also touts the Oklahoma Bioenergy Center.
(By the way, Gov. Henry, you might want to update that photo gallery on your Web site. Looks like the latest photos, which are of your wife, are at least two years old.)

I support wholeheartly the producing of electricity using renewable resources (such as wind power, etc..). But as the end user, I would like to know what is the cost of electricity ($/kwh) by wind power vs. the current rate.
I just don’t want the government go along with the ‘good idea’ scheme at the expenses of the end users, which benefits the very few rich investors.
Thanks!
