This week we’re taking a look at the world of energy with Bloomberg Government Energy Analyst Rob Barnett. We’ll talk about the Environmental Protection Agency, natural gas, shale and wind energy.
Looking back at the highs and lows of each during 2012, and peering into 2013. T. Boone Pickens Jr. was Bloomberg Government’s guest at the Republican National Convention, we’ll hear what one of Fortune Magazines richest men has to say about “Pickens Plan” and it can save us from OPEC.

T. Boone Pickens worked for Phillips Petroleum for three years before striking out on his own in 1954. With $2,500 of borrowed money, Pickens and two investors formed an oil and gas firm called Petroleum Exploration Inc., which focused on domestic oil and gas opportunities. Later, he formed Altair Oil & Gas Co. to pursue oil and gas exploration opportunities in western Canada. Both were predecessor companies to Mesa Petroleum, which he took public in 1964. Pickens built Mesa into one of America’s largest independent natural gas and oil companies. Mesa produced more than 3 trillion cubic feet of gas and 150 million barrels of oil from 1964 to 1996.
