Hello fellow Buckeye's. I am also encouraged by the Pickens plan. This is the first form that I have joined on the site. I have both lived in and helped construct a Passive Solar house here in Cincinnati, although I sold it after living in it for 14 years. ( 84-98)
I am retired from the local utility company here and actually worked in a facility that produced Electric with Natural Gas Turbines. This is a popular means of producing electric, since it is easy to construct, Takes up less land, is cleaner on the environment, and is cheaper to build. So I am very fimilar with the part of Boone's plan regarding displacing Natural Gas for electric production and inserting Wind energy. If I can be of any service to your organization let me know.

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 what Mr. Pickens is preaching but I do not think he has disclosed his Plan. I have read and reread everyhing that is on this web and I have failed to find the Plan.

Let us imagine that you Plan to go to visit your grandmother in a far away city and start to make a Plan. You will decide when to leave from home. How you will travel from home to grandmother's, how you will pay for the travel, what clothes you will take, and also what you will do with your grandmother. Mr. Picken's has told us that he would like to visit his granny because it is good for him to do so that but he has provided no details on how he Plans to accomplish the mission.

His Plan needs to be supplemented by other plans. Mr. Picken's Plan (presently undefined) will not get us to Energy Independence. I request you study the People's petition for Energy Independence .

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/windenergycorporation

It clearly defines where the money will come from, who will collect it, who will spend it and how, what can be expected at the conclusion of 5 and 10 years and also what will happen when we have become Energy Independent. This Plan is not dependent on the whims of the Stock Market or the condition of the Credit markets. The Plan makes investment every year till the goal is avhieved.
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.
Also, if you want to become an partner in this endeavour let me know how I can contact you. It will be a Labor of Love for a Country that we love. Just think what it would be to be Energy Independent. What it will do to our standard of living. The opportunities it will offer us, our children and grand children.
Thanks.

Regards and Best wishes,

Alankar Gupta

I like this idea! I have not studied enough, however, to know exactly what to do about it. Anyone who would like to talk can reach me on this board. I also have a MySpace and Facebook account if anyone is on those. Thanx!

Whenever I see the Buckeye Logo, I know I'm among friends! But I also know that The Ohio State University is among the most productive and impressive reserch organizations in the country. I would love to see, and to encourage, our own OSU to lead us as a state to develop the most prestigious use and creation of alternative energy. There are a lot of smart people right off of High Street in Columbus. I'd love to hear what they're doing, and help them to do even more!
