Like the headline says. Doors open at 3:30, 400 people allowed in, event begins around 4:00, Governor Sebelius to introduce T. Boone Pickens. Format: Town hall meeting. I assume that means some audience interaction. Event being held at Heritage Hall at the Kansas Expo Center in Topeka.
From the evidence of my email (which is numerous but probably not representative of a broad slice of Americana), the following topics are of interest to many of the folks who plan on attending:
Water. Another of Pickens’ future projects (not an official part of the Pickens’ plan, I don’t think) is a water pipeline running from the Ogallala to major TX population centers – read this article for more info.
Wind. Gotta have transmission to get wind to market. Where do we get the transmission?
Natural gas. Is there enough? What about issues with imports? And affordability?
It appears that folks already get it that we are way too dependent on foreign oil.
Topeka Capital-Journal also has an interview with Pickens, click here.
I stopped by the fire station last night because my husband was on shift. Pickens came up in the conversation (not just with husband, but with others. They all want net metering, too, BTW. I simply mention it).
General consensus from the guys: No one’s sure about the plan, there’s probably something we’re missing, but geez, at least SOMEONE has a plan. That’s a nice change.
Again. I simply mention it.

Since we could not find a vehicle registered for T. Boone Pickens, the oil man on television, see what vehicle his wife drives
