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.”

The Texas Monthly Magazine is the premier magazine of its type in the Lone Star State. Editor-in-chief Evan Smith has written an op-ed piece about Boone Pickens suggesting that he be named the Dallas Morning News “Texan of the Year.”

Mr. Smith’s blog “T. Boone Pickens is my pick for Texan of the Year” is an honest and humorous look at Boone and Boone’s work for and in Texas.

“The energy magnate,” Smith writes, “could have chosen to sit on his behind, watch his beloved Oklahoma State Cowboys thrash around on the football field, and generally enjoy life. Instead,” Smith continues, “he decided to write yet another memoir – his third – and to promote, with great fanfare, his eponymous plan to reduce and hopefully eliminate America’s dependence on foreign oil through wind turbines, natural gas-powered cars and the like.”
