The tumbling economy has certainly taken its toll on automakers, ethanol producers and everyone else, pretty much. Why should T. Boone Pickens escape the downfall? He hasn’t. The huge west Texas wind farm that is part of T. Boone Pickens’s new energy Plan has been delayed and now probaly won’t be ready by 2011.
