LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Boone Pickens, Founder and Chairman of BP Capital Management and author of "The Pickens Plan" will be in Louisville, KY on March 24 to address the National Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Fleet Summit.  Mr. Pickens, arguably the nation's most vocal advocate for energy independence, will discuss the opportunities that natural gas creates for the transportation industry with respect to significant fuel cost savings, environmental benefits, and a decrease in American consumption of imported petroleum.
