Pickens spoke to CNN about his plans to increase reliance on natural resources like wind and solar.
Fortunately, we have virtually unlimited sun, wind, and hydrogen resources at our disposal, and that will never change.
While this is the most widely discussed issue associated with variable resources like wind and solar energy, there are many other problems they can create for grid operators.
Contrary to what many people may expect, most of these technologies, which include microturbines, fuel cells and high-efficiency cogeneration, rely on fossil fuels rather than renewable-energy resources like wind or solar energy.
Like China, the prodigious expansion of power production from renewable-energy resources like wind, solar energy and geothermal has outpaced the ability of the transmission systems to move these new power supplies to centers of demand.

This includes everything from tapping our offshore oil supplies and vast natural gas reserves, to doubling down on clean energy resources like wind and solar power, to developing new technologies that help us use less energy altogether.
To get clean energy to them requires a decentralised approach using local resources such as wind power, solar energy or small hydroelectric projects.
Besides being used for hi-tech gadgets, the elements are also crucial for manufacturing low-carbon resources such as wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars, said David Danielson, the US assistant secretary for renewable energy.
The base is also taking advantage of wind, solar, and biomass resources to provide secure electrical power for the installation.
Third, it requires utilities to obtain at least 15% of their electricity from renewable resources, such as wind and solar power.
That's why I've focused on putting resources into solar, wind, biodiesel, geothermal.
The rest comes from coal, natural gas and other resources, like hydropower and wind farms.

In a statement posted to its website, Makani said the deal would "provide Makani with the resources to accelerate our work to make wind energy cost competitive with fossil fuels".
This line also points to an apparent preference for building new data centers in areas where electricity is generated using renewable resources (i.e. hydroelectric and wind).
With additional resources, in areas like advanced manufacturing of wind turbines and solar panels, for instance, we can help turn good ideas into good private sector jobs.
