Fellow Atlantans, We must get active and try to rebuild America to what it once was. I am trying to get as many involved as possible. Sitting back is not the answer.

This information is useful for anyone considering moving away from foreign oil usage. I have contact Clark Howard to learn about his search for alternative energy sources and specifics about his finding this Honda Civic in another state. Refer to this web site. http://clarkhoward.com/liveweb/shownotes/2007/10/23/12804/

Greetings Friends,
We all need to thank Mr. Pickens for explaining the energy problem that we as a nation face. Earlier it was one Group (users) pointing fingers at the other Group (suppliers) and vice versa. The problem is real. It was magnified to some extent, in recent times, by speculators. But, the truth is we are importing more oil every year and producing less. We are sending billions of dollars overseas.

I like Mr. Pickens Plan but I think it needs to be supplemented by other plans. It by itself will not get us to Energy Independence. It will just buy us more time. For this reason I have posted a petition for Energy Independence .

Please (a) sign the Petition and (b) forward it to your friends. United we can achieve Energy Independence and avoid this constant financial bleeding of our great nation.
Thanks.

Regards and Best wishes,

Alankar Gupta

CNG cars, todays solution for todays crisis.
By the time NG runs out the Auto and Energy Mfg's will be up to speed with something else.

Who needs a CNG station when you can have it in your own garage!
See the links below - This is a consumer device that hooks to your NG line just like your stove.
It lives in your garage and fills your car at night for about $1.50 a gal.
The coolest part is you don't need to buy a new car, just convert your current junker into a Bi-fuel car, gasoline /CNG best of both worlds.

This country's current energy policy has such a large impact (mostly negative) on everybody's lives. We need a new vision immediately, and I am glad to see that someone with T. Boone's influence is standing up to make a change. I also appreciate that the solution is both domestic and involves wind energy.

Einstein defined "Insanity" as "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". I am very excited about the Pickens' plan and its potential impact on our immediate future.

SUBJECT: Solarizing Atlanta/Georgia...
Academically speaking we could reproduce every bit of electricity that Georgia consumed last year with basic 'non-fancy' fixed position solar panels (simply 125 watt rigid panels) arrayed in less than 20 miles x 20 miles.... I have had half a dozen people arrive at this same conclusion.
According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy... we could do the same for the whole country with an area measuring 110 miles x 110 miles...... take a look: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pv_quick_facts.html
- f.
P.S. Please understand, I am offering the above notion as an item that is purely 'academically' noteworthy (because on that level it is valid) - there are technical challenges to it that must be addressed such as transmission line power loss and storage. However, it places the concept out there in a tangible fashion that demonstrates that we could move toward solar in Georgia in a massively meaningful way.

Hey Folks,

Thanks for taking the lead and creating a group. This is exactly what we are going to need to sustain this campaign and realize its goals.

My name's Brett and I'm the Director of Online Organizing for PickensPlan. I want to be as helpful as possible in making this group work for you, and coordinating with the rest of the campaign.

Here's a link to a discussion on tips for a successful group:
