If we are to reach the PickensPlan 10 year goal we will need to look to a distributed network of 1000's of community-scale facilities, not just large scale wind farms and off shore sites. But community wind means community support, and opponents to wind and solar are well organized and mobilized. To help proponents of renewable energy organize, get informed, and show their support in their towns we have started a new blog at www.buildbabybuild.net. We hope that members of the PickensPlan will come to our blog too, post comments, join the network, and share with friends in your local community - our goal is to provide practical advice and resources for how to actively support renewable energy projects.

I was all electric, the bill got to be astronomical, I went to natural gas as a heat source in the winter and with all the fee's they have found to add on, it's not an economical alternative either because there always seems to be the problem with someone at the top wanting to get rich instead of just make a living. Everybody I know would like to get off the grid and be independant of not only oil but the greediness of our suppliers of all types of energy but the costs for solar panels or wind turbines seems to be out of reach of the average consumer. If someone could come up with a method or company that could furnish affordable solar panels or wind energy generators for the average consumer we could leap forward with energy independance. If nearly one fourth of your monthly income goes to your utility bill, it kind of stifles any other ideas and solutions.; ▶ Reply to This

We need a representative at the large truck companies as they will provide the engines that can use natural gas.We also need a representative at the large shipping companies that also will have an inerest in low cost natural gas.; ▶ Reply to This

They're making charging stations meant to be deployed around a city for electric vehicle drivers to use. He had an extremely interesting presentation, and it gave me the topics for a series of blog posts.

This first Equating "fuel" efficiency between electric, hybrid, and gasoline v... tries to answer the efficiency of an EV over a gas vehicle. For instance Tesla claims its Roadster gets 190 miles/gallon equivalent efficiency.

It seems my electric motorcycle gets 112 miles/gallon and my electric bicycle gets 1120 miles/gallon.

Okay electricity isn't measured in gallons that involves some conversion factors.

Curious what y'all's thoughts are...; ▶ Reply to This

I discuss alot of issues that affect truck drivers and our nation. I appreciate Mr. Pickens efforts but do not agree with everything he or anyone else has to say. I believe this is one of the greatest things about humans. When we learn to discuss things we become more knowledgeable and cultured. This can only help us grow. Thank you for your time.; ▶ Reply to This

I am grateful that Mr. Pickens has brought attention and urgency to the issues surrounding the way that we use energy. I am am also a big energy advocate -- I have written 2 textbooks on hydrogen fuel cells. I have posted some of my thoughts about the future of energy on my site: http://www.cleanfuelcellenergy.com/blog/
and also on my Facebook group: Clean Fuel Cell Energy
Please keep up the good work! - Colleen; ▶ Reply to This
