The Progressive Forum Houston presents T. Boone Pickens, Chairman, BP Capital, Sunday, March 29 at 7:30, in the Wortham Center, Brown Theater.

Called the “Oracle of Oil” for his ability to predict oil and gas prices, T. Boone Pickens manages more than $4 billion through his company, BP Capital. He built Mesa Petroleum, one of the largest independents, from a $2,500 investment. Now he’s launched an ambitious, self-funded campaign to reduce America’s crippling dependence on foreign oil and meet the potential threat of peak oil.

His PickensPlan calls for major investments in renewable energy which he outlines in his book, The First Billion Is The Hardest. His company, Mesa Power, is planning the world’s largest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle. And his company, Clean Energy, went public in 2007 and is advancing natural gas as a cleaner burning, more efficient transportation fuel.

Program starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Wortham Center, Brown Theater, 501 Texas Avenue. NOTE:  There will be no book signing by the speaker after the program.
