If the Pickens plan (which I support) supported a National Energy Lottery (see blog below) proposal and the 4 million followers donated 5 bucks a week for this Energy Raffle, there would be 800 winners a week or 41,600 winners a year of a $25,000 voucher good only for Renewable products, ie; solar, wind, hybrid, energy green appliances, etc...and be fully transferrable as well. Take advantage of the Fed's energy credit and it would buy around $32,000 worth of Green product/s.

If the Pickens Plan ran this program and retained 10% for operations, not only would it generate further income for the cause but the donators would have some fun with the potential of winning this voucher and 25,000 to 1 odds. Better than a money lottery that doesn't promote going green.

At $20,000,000 a week @ 10%, that's $2,000,000 for the Pickens Plan for operations. Would certainly be enough for expanding the mission. That's over a Billion for the year! Maybe take that money and invest in a windmill anufacturing company that is owned by the workers. Spread the prosperity and have it Made in USA by the owners/workers. see entire plan at: http://nationalenergylottery.blogspot.com/
Also an inventor who has developed a prototye called Road Power. Will convert downhill vehicle traffic 24/7/365 to electricity alongside the highways of America. No Sun, Wind, Water, Land required. One unit will power approximately 3 homes per year. Looking for Angel Investors to take to next level. Would be a great asset to the Pickens Plan to get us off foreign oil even faster. Thank you, Gary

I may be the only person who is NOT surprised that Congress is actually continuing to act like a bunch of spoiled brats. I expected the Republicans to act like the "loyal opposition" (oxymoronic at best)...and I have three of them as my reps in the congress.

Apparently the Democrats have decided to act like children also.

I think we need to make it clear that 1.4 million people want a change in the way things are done.

What would happen if a senator got 1.4 million phone calls this week?

What would happen if a representative got 1.4 million phone calls this week?

He/She may not "come to Jesus" but his staff will have to tell him that things are getting interesting out there.

This is probably not for the faint of heart...but I have a huge surplus of roll over minutes on my cell phone and I will enjoy this.

Getting us organized was the easy part. Getting the Congress to actually do something is the hard part. Time to make them listen.

For the children...

I watched Boone on the Daily Show last night. I think the group would have followed him out and stormed congress and the White House. Leadership creates excitement. It was electric.

CNN has a tremendous article today which challenges us to think of our relationship to oil in a unique way.

Now that the election is complete it is time for us to focus on Boone's 100 day strategy. Our job is a little harder with the economy in turmoil and the price of oil being down. We have to remember this is the point at which we failed in the 1980's. We have to keep the energy crisis at the front of the line even though the conditions have eased.

This is not a time to ease up. It is a time to RAMP UP !!! We have an opportunity to be proactive and address the matter NOW rather than wait until it becomes urgent again. We have to contact our Congress people and let the Obama people know we are watching. The cost of inaction is more financial pain. We have a chance to be ahead of the curve but the margin is small and time is short.
