Why is oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens advocating wind energy all of a sudden?

in the past oil billionaires have done everything they possibly could in order to increase the dependency of America on oil, especially advocating really clunky cars such as SUVs. Even the American “hybrid” cars are gas guzzlers in comparison to the Prius.  It seems like Detroit is specializing in cars like THIS with 20 Gallons PER MILE, so that mom can pick up Johnny from school in style:

All-American Detroit-Style Oil-Economy vehicle - 20 Gallons PER MILE.

While Germany has reduced its gas consumption by over 10% just in the last year alone, there is no such thing happening in America.  The only thing that is happening here is that the gas price is increasing by well over 10%, and so are of course the profits of the oil companies.

Now why would an oil billionaire such as T. Boone Pickens advocate the use of wind energy over oil?  I think what must really be happening here is that his companies are running out of oil, and so they cannot really continue to expand into profitable oil manufacturing.  Only now, that it appears that there are other more profitable avenues, such as wind and gas, this man is making an effort to help America break free from the dependency on oil.

I would say it is about time.  This kind of stuff should have happened already over a decade ago.  I support his idea of wind energy, but also believe that it is vital to push electric cars.

Let’s hope that America gets free quickly of this insane oil dependency on foreign nations.
