Break the Curse of Oil Addiction – Austin American-Statesman – 9/16/09
By The Editorial Board
“We should not let desire to argue over the messenger and his message rob us of the necessity to shed our oil dependence. Rigs that burn natural gas may not be the whole solution, but that certainly is a move in the right direction.”

T. Boone Pickens Has a Plan to Reduce our Dependency on Foreign Oil – Standard-Examiner (UT) – 8/30/09
By Rick Stewart
“Well, as you may have heard here, he has a plan. And the backbone of that plan is natural gas…and the best part of all this natural-gas, clean-energy talk for red state, Republican Utahans? You don't have to be a tree-hugger to support it.”

Pickens: A Man with a Plan – Daily Herald (UT) – 8/25/09
“So why haven't we (cut our gasoline dependence)? It's all a matter of leadership...He's right about that...It's time to kiss the naysayers goodbye and watch our economy take off.”

Pickens Has Changed Energy Debate – The Wichita Eagle – 7/30/09
“A year into his multimedia campaign, Pickens has more than 1 million followers and the confidence to say that the American people want his plan...give the 81-year-old oilman credit for waking up Americans and their leaders to the urgent need to import less oil and make the most of domestic energy sources. When Pickens speaks, people not only listen but also act.”

One Year Later: Pickens Plan Impacts Energy Debate – Fort Worth Business Press – 7/20/09
By Will Brackett
“With his continued push, Pickens will help to transform our nation’s energy usage away from foreign oil and more toward cleaner-burning, affordable and abundant natural gas – which best of all, is ours. We support Pickens in his efforts and wish him the best of success in his endeavor to bring us to a day when our nation can achieve a realistic degree of energy independence.”

CabinWindow: Pickens Man with a Plan – Log Cabin Democrat – 6/11/09
“Pickens has a sensible notion, and we hope all of America hears his ideas, but at the end of the day, change will only come when our elected leaders say with a united voice that our future won't hinge on foreign oil.”

Join Army Working for Energy Freedom – Springfield News-Leader (MO) – 5/13/09
By Wade Palmer
“The Pickens Plan is not the only solution, but it's an important piece of the machinery. Still less than one year old, The Pickens Plan boasts an army of nearly 4 million activists and the larger this army grows, the more they can influence our nation's energy policy. The men and women in Congress listen only when the voices are very loud . Real progress toward energy independence will take years (decades) so we cannot afford to wait ... now is the time to act.”
