Pickens has placed all his eggs in one basket. Realistically, you could get around 30% of the US power grid supplied by wind power. That's what T Boone Pickens has proposed, and I respect his "transition" from an oil man to a proponent of wind power, but expert analyses of his plan I've seen show it to be overblown (I apologize for the pun) and only a small part of transition from an oil economy to a (highly suspicious) wind economy.
He's a hedge fund manager, don't underestimate him on that but understand that he's invested in wind power as THE answer while his highly profitable and sustainable plan is only part of the answer.
