In 2009, 41 percent of all energy consumption in the United States comes from

electric power generation. Coal provides the preponderant fuel (51 percent), with

nuclear power (21 percent) and natural gas (17 percent) providing most of the

rest. Renewable energy provides only 9 percent. Recently, T. Boone Pickens proposed converting the trucking fleet in the United States to liquefied natural

gas (LNG) and using wind power to replace the missing LNG in electric power

production. What issues do you see that must be resolved before the Pickens

plan could be adopted?
