When his massive energy plan was first unveiled to the public, Mr. Pickens made it clear that he wanted the Pickens Plan to be a factor in the upcoming election. While we know from 2004's swift boat controversythat Pickens has the power and money to push his ideas into the political arena, we weren't quite sure how he would launch a Pickens Plan assault on this year's candidates.Well, now we know: live blogging.T. Boone Pickens, along with the Sierra Club's executive director Carl Pope, will be hosting what they call an "e-Rally" during and after tonight's presidential debate. Their purpose: to let the candidates know that the "New Energy Army" is watching them. Pope and Pickens will be fielding live questions about our energy policy, and how to pressure US leaders to action. According to the article: "40,000 Americans have RSVP'd to participate in the e-Rally," and over 1,000 questions have already been submitted.
As for the odd coupling of Carl Pope and T. Boone Pickens, here's aquote from the Sierra Club exec:
"That Boone and I agree about the Pickens Plan is not really good news because anything Boone and I agree about should have been done long ago."
