Indie Film “Haynesville” Will Premiere November 23rd On CNBC

“Haynesville” will premiere on Tuesday, November 23rd at 9pm on CNBC. The one hour documentary will repeat that evening at 10pm, 12am and 1am.

The show will also air on:

Sunday, November 28th at 10pm.

“Haynesville”

When the people in rural Northern Louisiana learn they are sitting on a fortune, they struggle to weigh their big dreams against the safety of their community. Some will take the money and run while others learn to negotiate with the big energy companies who are looking to drill into the trillion-dollar natural gas reservoir that lies deep beneath their homes. Will this be easy money or the fight of their lives, in what some are calling the “new gold rush”?

I joined the plan last week and just joined the TN-06. I hope to contribute to this worthwhile effort.

District members, we’re at the third and final day of the Virtual March, and today we are focusing on getting action on a bill to establish a 21st century transmission system and a National Renewable Electricity Standard (RES). As Boone points out, twenty-eight states now have an RES – which directs electric utilities to produce a set percentage of their power using alternative sources by a date certain.

Let’s make a great final push. Please use this link to contact Congress and the President again to... Thanks to all who have participated in the Virtual March this week!

Hi everyone, I just sent an email to Members of Congress about reducing our dependency on foreign oil.

Comment by Renee Klink on April 2, 2009 at 11:01am

Thanks to all of you who have taken action in the Virtual March so far! It’s Day Two, and the focus today is on oil imports -- the March 2009 numbers show we imported 65 percent of the oil we used -- so let’s contact our Members of Congress again today about reducing America’s dependency on foreign oil. You can do this by phone, of course, and we have also set up links to e-mail Congress or contact your member....

When you’ve done this, please leave a note here on our group page to let other members know you’ve taken action, and tell us if you received any information or feedback from the members’ offices.

Also, if you are a business owner or part of an organization that would like to take part in the Virtual March, please let me know and we’ll recognize you as a partner on the Pickens Plan Virtual March page!

The first day of the three-day Pickens Plan Virtual March on Washington is here!

Among other actions, I’m encouraging everyone to send a single e-mail today, tomorrow, and Friday. It’s a simple thing to do, but it has tremendous impact.

Click here to ask Congress and President Obama to support the NAT G....

Thank you for your support.

Hi district members, have you signed up for the Virtual March on Washington yet? It's April 1-3. We want to continue to have an impact on how the Administration formulates American energy policy, and the Army will focus its energy during those three days on e-mails, calls and faxes to every Member of Congress.

Click here for more information about the Virtual March! And let's all make the commitment to recruit 10 other people to take part, too.

Since once again, no response - I will try again.

It ought to be obvious by now, it may be months before we get the government to act on the installation of wind or solar power sites and then, it is not going to effect our area - Middle Tennessee, to any great extent, if at all.

And I have discovered, wind towers are really not effective on residences.

BUT, we have literally hundreds of industrial sites throughout this region that use enormous amounts of electricity - a portion of which could be reduced by the erection of tower in the immediate area, or on the buildings themselves. It would require engineering - of sorts, as most of these buiidlings will not support towers as we see them pictured. And there may not be enough prevailing winds in the area. Does anyone know if they can be built to be multi-directional?

Or do you-all think I am just a crazy old man, not worthy of a response. I will know by your response to this note.

I am really irritated... I sent message yesterday that is not printed here. What goes on???

Hi all, let's keep the pressure on the Senate! While the stimulus package is not perfect, it does have good in it and will jumpstart efforts to get wind and solar projects going.

More than 30,000 members of the New Energy Army have contacted their elected officials in the last 48 hours. If you haven't done so, please take a few minutes now to contact your Senators. Use phone and/or e-mail to reach out to them on this very important issue.

Senator Alexander 202-224-4944 - Senator Corker 202-224-3344

As Boone says, "let's give the Senators another push... to get this accomplished......."
