A "Boone" for Philanthropy?
|
The piece, entitled "There Will Be Boone," details some of the Pickens Plan and the way that it is poised to make a serious change in our economy.
Pickens is also the mastermind of a charitable bonanza for his alma mater, OSU (which I blogged about here).
If the Pickes Plans works out and we manages to shift even a small portion of our energy usage over to alternative power, the returns for our community -- in the form of cost savings, new jobs created, better environment, etc. -- could be just as high as the financial returns to Mr. Pickens himself.
Forget social enterprise: this is a form of doing well by doing good that might never be surpassed.
