NEW YORK (CNN) -- Billionaire oil man T. Boone Pickens is shelving
plans to build the world's largest wind farm.

T. Boone Pickens says the capital markets will not support his plans
to build the world's largest wind farm.

The chairman of BP Capital Management announced Tuesday that his plans
for the Pampa Wind Project, designed to generate 4,000 megawatts of
electricity using thousands of wind turbines, is on hold.

"I had hoped that Pampa would be the starting point, but transmission
issues and the problem with the capital markets make that unfeasible
at this point," Pickens told CNN's Ali Velshi. "I expect to continue
development of the Pampa project, but not at the pace that I
originally expected."
