Letters to the editor are some of the most effective ways of communication today! Op-Eds and local LTE are terrific marketing tools that allow you to convey your thoughts and ideas to your friends, family and neighbors. They are fun, make an impact and, best of all, FREE!

Help Boone spread his message of ending our dependence on foreign oil.

Do you want to have a letter to the editor you write published in your local newspaper? If so, message me on Push or email me at Geoffrey@pickensplan.com and I can help you come up with a LTE of your own.

It's the little effort we make today that makes the big difference tomorrow!

Rand Elliott denies he’s motivated by greed, but he admitted that following the economic crash in September, he’s been very motivated by fear.

Speaking to the Commercial Real Estate Council on Thursday, Elliott recalled how the start of the oil bust in 1983 forced him to trim his staff from 22 to four in one day. That memory, fear of what’s to come, and a design contest sponsored by Azure magazine all combined to inspire Elliott to dream up a project that drew gasps from developers and realtors gathered to hear his presentation of Turbinomic, a tower designed to generate its own power through a mix of solar and wind power.

"I didn’t win (the contest),” Elliott said. "But something more important, something incredible happened as a result of this exploration. The fear made me discover something that is always around us — the Oklahoma wind. And this idea could only happen in Oklahoma, not New York.”

It is all well and good to get into the paper, but if you have looked at the Daily Oklahoman the last few weeks, you will see the same gravitation to old politics and the Oil and Gas Dynamo steaming down to kill any efforts to raise awareness of our lack of educational programs for Green Technology and especially involving Solar Energy, of which, Oklahoma has abundant resources to utilize and harness at the very times that peak energy is needed.
I agree that the state has some individuals that are doing more such as the Board of Regents at OSU! Horray for them at forming classes to teach and certify wind energy electricians for safety and for the resulting recovery of Stimulus funds for those buying Wind Turbines to make energy, which get a credit on their Corporate and individual tax returns by using certified technicians.
Now, is the time to get course studies in several venues including geothermal and solar. By setting up the State's Energy office to receive technical assistance from people like me, they get enormous knowledge bases and do not pay what they should for the priviledge! I just hope they will use their state resources and find individuals like me that want to help and have the educational backgrounds to hit the problem head on and develop criteria and agendas that can culminate in state designed courses and eventually export them to other states or the national stage so that all can benefit from the opportunities to be certified as competant in their chosen skilled craft.
Then you will realize the efforts you seek to accomplish at the grassroots level, because they will see the results in action and the people of Oklahoma will be the biggest winners, both the students and the people that decide to become no longer dependant on oil and gas based products! Sincerely, Gregor Smith

All,

I just wanted to give a big Oklahoma shout out to Mary Putnam who had a GREAT Op-Ed in today's Daily Oklahoman. Terrific job Mary! This just demonstrates how easy it is to write and submit an Op-Ed!

YOU DID IT!

Because of YOUR calls, faxes and emails, Senator Inhofe signed the Pickens Pledge! We got his signed pledge on Friday! GREAT job! This is proof positive that our efforts really do make a difference in Washington. Let Senator Inhofe know that you appreciate his leadership!

Now we focus our attention on Senator Coburn. Boone wanted me to tell you all how proud he is of your hard work!
