  • Thomas Boone Pickens, Jr. (born May 22, 1928 in Holdenville, Oklahoma), known as T. Boone Pickens, is the tenth and current United States Secretary of Energy. Before that, he was an American financier who chaired the hedge fund BP Capital Management. He was a well-known takeover operator during the 1980s. His takeovers put many independent oil producers out of business. With an estimated current net worth of about $3 billion, he was ranked by Forbes as the 117th-richest person in America and ranked 369th in the world. In office, the energy policies of the United States has changed dramatically, as increased focus was put on alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and nuclear power, as well as focusing on breaking the dependence on foreign fuels. Pickens supported McCain's assessment that the U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a major strategic vulnerability, a serious threat to American security, economy and the well-being of the plane," explicitly connecting energy independence with national security, climate change, and the environment.
