The Dallas Environmental Policy Examiner has named T. Boone Pickens the “Best Earth-Friendly Texan of 2008” for his work on the Pickens Plan.

In an on-line piece by reporter Caroline Calais, the Examiner summarizes the reasons Boone went on his Pickens Plan crusade saying:

Mr. Pickens found the dependence on foreign oil to form the intersection of the three most critical issues America currently faces – the economy, the environment and national security.

For those of us who have been marching side-by-side with Boone as part of the New Energy Army, we know that has been central to our entire campaign.

The Examiner presented Boone with the title of “Best Earth-Friendly Texan of 2008 for “for his inspiring decision to take action” and has “re-energized Americans tired of oil dependence, high gas prices, and skeptical that neither the new Administration nor the new Congress are up to the challenge.”
