GREEN RANKING FOR 2009
Ranking: 25=
Worth: £1.8bn
Green investment: Natural power

T Boone Pickens, the American oil billionaire, is planning to spend $60m on a television campaign to educate the American public about the dangers of sending $432,000 per minute to foreign countries for their oil. Pickens is promoting the use of natural gas, wind power and solar energy to offset and eventually limit dependence on oil. He is also leasing thousands of acres of Texas to build wind farms. Forbes estimated his fortune at £2.2 billion in its October 2008 list of the richest Americans. We have cut Pickens back to £1.8 billion.
