Looks like it isn’t only presidential election visits for the Land of Enchantment. We will now also be getting a visit from oilman T. Boone Pickens whose Pickens Plan has received a lot of attention. The wealthy Texan will be in town to discuss the plan that focuses on wind energy and natural gas as an alternative to oil.

Pickens will be at the Albuquerque Convention Center Ballroom on Wednesday, Sept. 10. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. and the event begins at 10:30 a.m.

John Fleck (linked above) has the press release.

Mr. Pickens is pleased to visit Albuquerque, N.M., to discuss the Pickens Plan. The Pickens Plan addresses the single biggest crisis facing America today: the growing and dangerous dependence on foreign oil. This will be the eighth Town Hall Meeting in a series being held across the country since the Pickens Plan launched on July 8.

Pickens, who helped finance the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth in 2004, sponsored a breakfast for the New Mexico delegation at the Democratic National Convention last week and even spoke to bloggers at the Big Tent.
