T-Boone Pickens is the first oil man putting his smoney where his mouth is, ready to seriously put alternative energy sources into play. In this CNN interview he talks about implementing a national wind power strategy to reduce American oil dependency by 1/3 according to his early projections.

Good thing the business community is finally tired of the pain because the government was never going to get off it’s collective hump in a timely manner. It takes a big personality like Pickens and his connections to nullify the political inertia that’s been killing us on this subject. So let’s see how the private and public investment communities go about kicking this thing off in earnest.

On another slant, comedian J. Anthony Brown, a regular personality on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, is tired of these prices too. On Friday’s, he has his own segment - J. Anthony Brown Murders the Hits. If you like contemporary gospel music then you know the song, “Never Would Have Made It” by Marvin Sapp. Well give your funny bone a tickle as J. belts out that up and rising hit “Never Would Have Paid It”.

After you pull yourself off the floor be sure to have a great rest of the week.
