Pickens Energy Plan and Media Blitz

Why would Boone Pickens spend $10 million on an ad campaign to boost his energy plans? His newest "big" project is the development of a mega wind-generation field in the Texas Panhandle. I wonder if it could be that his site is located in one of the last remaining habitats for the Lesser Prairie Chicken? I don't know, but based on the map and my knowlege of the area, it could be a factor.

The Lesser Prairie Chicken is on the list to be considered for Endangered Status. It is far enough down the list that it hasn't yet received much attention but it could. There hasn't been a public outcry yet, so why is Boone spending so much on his media blitz? I wonder....
