You can see it by clicking here Pedal Pushers Online has been favoring Human Powered Transportation as fun and ecologically sound for many years now, It will be interesting to see how well I can integrate both of these passions.; ▶ Reply to This

Hello All, with all the current talk on energy I desided to weigh in on my view. I have recently added my name to T. Boone Pickens web site. This post is a response to a Question "What excites you about "The Pickens Plan" campaign?

First off I will say that I hate the word GREEN. Althought I feel we are not being a good stewart of what God gave us to manage and that the worlds temp is on the rise, I do not believe we are the cause. Geology has proven that this world goes through ice ages and heat wave cycles. Science has proven that we are currently in an upswing of that natural cycle. Even if man was being a good steward of the world, the worlds temp would still be on the rise anyway just as it has done in it's past and at the same cycles it always had. The Learning Channel and The History Channel has said this on many shows.

Having said all this I believe energy independence as a necessity has a lot more to do with national security then it does anything else. If this nation is not secure both militarily and financially, there is no hope of being a good stewart of this planet, we will not have the financial resources to invest in alternate energy sources. Sending all this money, 700 billion a year, will continue to weaken this nation. Although I agree that technology and alternative sources of energy are the future and need to be invested in now and heavily, it is a slow and long term future. Fact is, we are going to be using oil for the forseable future. Even if every car in the U.S. was electric, all Aircraft will still be using oil based fuels. We need to find more of our own oil, and use only our own oil.

I agree with Mr. Pickens that we can't drill our way out of this mess, I do fell that we can drill our way to some temporary relief of a major financial and energy source problem. This will keep a lot, if not all, of that 700 billion in our own country, and help make us more financially sound so we can invest more money into alternative energy sources. If we get to the point where all of our energy needs come from domestic sources; oil, natural gas, wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, and hydrogen we will be a secure nation and once again be a world leader financially and raise that value of the dollar. We should be increasing all of our energy sources together. Once we attain energy indepenence then we should continue growth in alternative energy sources and lower the need for oil and all sources of carbon energy, looking to a day when all sources of carbon energy will no longer be needed.

The major reason we invest so much in Middle East security is our need for it's oil. An unstable Middle East would strongly weaken this nation. Energy independence would greatly reduce the need for all of our Middle East investments.

One aspect that I wish we would look into more is nuclear energy. We have proven as a nation that nuclear technology is safe despite several incidents. But our aging power plants will be in need of upgrades soon. In addition, France of all nations, is much further ahead of us in nuclear technology. They not only have proven to the world that nuclear energy production can be safe they have done it safer then the U.S. plants. In addition they have also proven that they can recycle nuclear fuel rods to the point that they are doing it for other nations and making money for themselves thus strengthening their own economy. We should move to retake the nuclear power lead and exploit this clean source of energy production.

Finally what excites me about Mr. Pickens campaign is that it is coming from a non-government source. Although I believe the government has a role is our energy crisis we are not a monarchy and it does not have nor should it have total control in our energy recovery. The Consitution is very clear, "WE THE PEOPLE !". It is designed as a republic, small government and power to the people through capitalism & democracy and not socialism & monachy. The only way that we will solve these issues is if everyone gets envolved. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". Most of the issues we face today are due to the fact that the Government runs free and "We The People" run silent. We all need to make our homes more efficient, purchase more fuel efficient cars or alternative fuel/ energy cars, invest in personal home use alternative energy sources (wind, solar), be energy conscience at work, and support businesses that invest and/ or using alternate sources. In our nations history our greatest moves forward have always happened when "We The People" have been unified and moved with motivation in what ever direction we chose to move. Just look at what we did during WWII.

Looking for the day that the U.S. is not only energy independent but carbon energy Free! Blessings Shane

NICE sentiment Shane but historically and factually wrong. On the 6th of December, 1941 we as a nation were decidedly NON interventionist. We were seen around the world as isolationist. Every war we fought in was followed IMMEDIATELY by the standing down of a full army to levels of manpower and equipment barely able to keep a viable address on file for the Post Office to find them. Calls to arms, calls to save Britain by Roosevelt, were all met with "stay out, it is none of our concern". We, as a nation, could not see our interests in a foreign war.

But come the afternoon of December 7, 1941, the haze of non-intervention and isolationism was suddenly lifted. Not by OUR will or OUR desire to do what was right, but rather by that most ungracious of taskmasters, the will only to survive. Yes, we WERE successful in that endeavor, but NOT because WE made the right choice, but rather because the CHOICE was made FOR us. Fight or die!

Do we as a nation have that same ability today? Sure we do. But that is asking the WRONG question. The RIGHT question is this: Do we see this current threat to our way of living as a threat to our survival or just a threat to our inconvenience?

If the answer is the FORMER than we will do OK, but if the answer is the latter (as I fear it is) we can only be saved by shear dumb luck and some forward thinking marketers. And THAT is quite a revealing statement on a country's greatness.
