Henry Endorses 'Pickens Pledge'

Gov. Brad Henry has endorsed a plan by Texas oil tycoon and Oklahoma native T. Boone Pickens to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil.

Henry on Monday signed the "Pickens Pledge," a document urging Congress and the next President to enact an energy policy emphasizing renewable and alternative fuels.

Pickens hopes to reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil by focusing on wind power and natural gas.

Henry says such steps are necessary to protect national security and enhance the country's economic future.

As a leading producer of both natural gas and wind power, Henry says Oklahoma is uniquely positioned to advance and benefit from the Pickens Plan.
