Legendary energy industry tycoon T. Boone Pickens expects the U.S. to have an energy plan later this year and he says it will be beneficial to Canada.
While the U.S. wants to reduce it's dependency on foreign oil, pickens says that doesn't mean Canada.
The 81 year old has perked the interest of President Barack Obama and is currently behind a plan to build the world's largest wind farm in his home state of Texas.
He's also pushing natural gas to play a bigger role in reducing foreign imports.
Pickens says as that happens, Canada can play a major role in picking up the slack.
Later, he told reporters he's looking at getting involved in a wind energy deal in southwestern Alberta.
