See my page for a letter from Cyndie at the City of Lynnwood on their use of hybrids and biodiesel city vehicles. She joined PP!
What now? If each of us contacts our city and county officials, they will have our voices to support change.

Time to put our words into actions. The city of Lynnwood is getting ready
to order new cars for the city fleet. The city council is discussing options over
the next month or 2. Email them and tell them they need to consider CNG or Hybrids. Here is the link to all of them. Do it today. This is the root of change. Local government participation.

Thanks to member Dan Burbank and Sustainable Lynnwood for this call to action! Lisa Utter, Councilwoman, is a strong supporter of this. Please give her your support. Jay P.S. You can comment even if you do not live in Lynnwood. Like most of us, I shop and do business there almost every day.

Welcome,
As a conservative I’m concerned about all of the money we are sending overseas to buy oil. Boone Pickens says we send 700 Billion every year.

We’ve put together a petition and would appreciate it if you would go take a look at it

Sign our PETITION to tell President Obama and Congress to establish Federal Private Citizen net metering regulations.

Currently the regulations that guide utility companies in allowing customers to interconnect their private alternative energy systems with the grid are established by the individual states, they are erratic across our country with some states being generous in requiring utilities to allow interconnectivity and in other states the requirement does not exist.

The federal government has established generous tax incentives to foster alternative energy growth, but those incentives will not be effective in an area where the utility is not required to allow interconnectivity. A federal regulation requiring utilities to allow a minimum of 5% of households to interconnect to the grid should be established.

The regulation should also require utilities to pay for any excess power produced by these customer alternative energy systems at the current wholesale rate, which would be a further incentive for private citizens to have these systems installed. Such regulations would encourage additional job growth in both the installation and manufacturing fields across our country.

A great site I ran across the other day True Lobby Sign up and you can keep track of Washington state legislation and contact your state reps through the site.

And my other site Solar Cynosure a site dedicated to proactive solar advocates, come see!
Thanks
Dan

Hello everyone,
I support the Pickens plan. I'd like to see our country work towards energy independence. My own business is directly effected by diesel fuel costs. Federal funding to help small business reliant on fuel prices convert to lower cost natural gas would stimulate our economy, help our environment, and lessen our dependance on foreign oil. It's a win - win. Now to see what really takes place these first 100 days???
