Greetings and Salutations,

We are working hard to stay on schedule and with the help from friends from many groups, The Twenty Percent Group, is nearing completion of phase one and will be hosting a conference call to discuss project 101, strategic business plans, nomination of the board of trustees, and disclosure of the location of the first wind farm to be built by volunteer investors. Be patient, great opportunities lie ahead.

Kind Regards,

Richard Bradford

There are no known alternative energy sources that can compete with oil and natural gas due to the high-energy output of a hydrocarbon. Oil and natural gas will be the fuel of choice for the next fifty years even though every known alternative energy method will be required. According to industry experts, alternative systems could still only account for 40% of our energy needs.

A frequently misconception by novice investors is “Wouldn’t I do better investing in Exxon or Shell?” This is quite the contrary, the greatest return for companies or individual investors is made at the wellhead. Those who amass the wealth own oil interests in good, economic producing oil and natural gas fields.

When it comes to investing, smaller is better! The smaller independent energy companies discover over 65% of all oil fields, not the major oil companies. The majors have left behind thousands of smaller oil fields, which are now becoming valuable high producing resources for the small independents. There will be only a 8 to 10 year window of opportunity for those to create great wealth before we will have sufficient new larger reserves.

We need to focus on our countries resources and keep developing them. Wind, solar and other alternatives will follow in time. There is no over night solution!

The only way we can grow from here is to do it together and not wait for our government to implement a strategy that will never work because of politics. We need to stop the partisan on going arguments before anything will ever work......

tell Pickens to either add the DNCs info or remove the RNCs info off their main community page.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on Feedback and ,if you agree with me, write...

Please either remove the RNC information or add the DNCs information. This is a non-partisan effort and right now it doesn't appear to be non-partisan. A concerned and active member.
Sincerely,

Not everyone understands what happens when oil prices rise. The effect is felt over a long period of time and is rarely attributed to the original price rise in oil. I have been watching this unfold since the early 70s and we are right on track for disaster over the next 20 years. I realized even back then, that the emotional inertia was not there and there was too much political power by the oil companies to make a change. Now the emotional energy is there and we stand a chance of being heard over Big Oil. So now is the appropriate time to act and act responsibly. The nay-sayers can be drowned out if we come forward with the right message and the right plans. I have a plan and so do many others. The issue becomes how we get the best parts of these plans implemented in a relatively short period of time. We need to stop talking and start DOING.

Dear Richard,
Thanks for joining my site. If there is anything I can help you with don't Hesitate to get ahold of me. we do wind and solar power together here in Washington State for residential, as well as commercial applications.Were also looking for investors for your company, to expand into other parts of the country. If you could help in this area, please let me know,

Have a great week,

Kraig

it's important that America invest in these alternative resources now. If the economy gets better and gas prices continue to fall, people will forget about it. Remember the 80's after the gas wars in the 70's? Unfortunately, if we didn't stop our investment back then, we wouldn't be in this mess today.

If anyone needs videos for their website, let me know. My partner and I can create any type of video.

Let's get the word out.

Keep uip the good work Richard bradford!

Hi Group
Thank you Richard for this Group :o}

On a small Scale I have all ready Invested in a Power Save 1200 Unit that I installed on my electric panel to save up to 25% on my bill. Its a small start but nevetheless its a start. Next I would like to install a RoofTop Windmill,

My Goal before winter sets in is to have as many New England homes saving a little bit energy before they get Discouraged and decide not to Pay their Taxes and Mortgage.

You can go here www.powersave.com to check out the units.
Now who wants to help me with this.
Don't all raise your hands at the same time.

Florida: Hermann Scheer Receives Standing Ovation--Pushes Feed-in Tariffs at Governor Crist Climate Summit
Posted on Thu, Jun. 26, 2008
BY JOHN DORSCHNER
jdorschner@MiamiHerald.com Schwarzenegger lauds, criticizes climate efforts . . . . . .
Speaking at the closing luncheon of Crist's second summit on climate change in Miami, Schwarzenegger listed all the elements, some serious, some not, that California and Florida shared. . .
. . . With an estimated 800 persons gathered at the Hotel InterContinental in downtown Miami . . .
. . . During an international panel, the most applause was received by Hermann Scheer, a member of the German Parliament and a leading expert in solar energy. "The only real option is to change to renewable,'' Scheer told the audience. He said Germany now produces 50 percent of the world's wind power and is a leader in solar. He said countries pushing renewables need to do three things:
• Guarantee access to the grid for any producer of renewable power, no matter how small the amount of power might be.
• Make guaranteed payments to those providing renewable power.
• Don't cap the contributions of renewable power.
Scheer received a standing ovation.
The crowd of about 500, however, sat silently when Philippe Vinogradoff, the consul general of France in Miami, said his nation needed to retain ''the nuclear option,'' because nuclear was a key source of power in France.

Foreigners give Crist energy reform ideas
By Zac Anderson

. . . "This governor is putting everything on the table and showing a lot of courage," said Jerry Karnas, with the group Environmental Defense.
Among the foreign representatives on the panel were consuls general from Spain and Germany, two of the global leaders on solar energy. Both countries require utilities to buy solar-generated electricity from individual producers at above-market prices, which led to an explosion in solar panel production and small-scale, distributed power generation.
"New players we need, not waiting for the energy companies," said Hermann Scheer, an expert on solar energy. "New players without vested interests in the old energy fields."
Crist kept smiling during Scheer's speech, but in the audience, representatives of big utility companies, which have given the governor extensive campaign contributions and helped sponsor the summit, might have been nervous. . .

The area north of the Arctic Circle has an estimated 90 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil, 1,670 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable natural gas, and 44 billion barrels of technically recoverable natural gas liquids in 25 geologically defined areas thought to have potential for petroleum.

The U.S. Geological Survey assessment released today is the first publicly available petroleum resource estimate of the entire area north of the Arctic Circle.

90 Billion Barrels of Oil and 1,670 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas Assessed in the Arctic

These resources account for about 22 percent of the undiscovered, technically recoverable resources in the world. The Arctic accounts for about 13 percent of the undiscovered oil, 30 percent of the undiscovered natural gas, and 20 percent of the undiscovered natural gas liquids in the world. About 84 percent of the estimated resources are expected to occur offshore.

"Before we can make decisions about our future use of oil and gas and related decisions about protecting endangered species, native communities and the health of our planet, we need to know what's out there," said USGS Director Mark Myers. "With this assessment, we're providing the same information to everyone in the world so that the global community can make those difficult decisions."

Of the estimated totals, more than half of the undiscovered oil resources are estimated to occur in just three geologic provinces - Arctic Alaska, the Amerasia Basin, and the East Greenland Rift Basins. On an oil-equivalency basis, undiscovered natural gas is estimated to be three times more abundant than oil in the Arctic. More than 70 percent of the undiscovered natural gas is estimated to occur in three provinces - the West Siberian Basin, the East Barents Basins, and Arctic Alaska.

The USGS Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal is part of a project to assess the global petroleum basins using standardized and consistent methodology and protocol. This approach allows for an area's petroleum potential to be compared to other petroleum basins in the world. The USGS worked with a number of international organizations to conduct the geologic analyses of these Arctic provinces.

Technically recoverable resources are those producible using currently available technology and industry practices. For the purposes of this study, the USGS did not consider economic factors such as the effects of permanent sea ice or oceanic water depth in its assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The USGS is the only provider of publicly available estimates of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources.

Exploration for petroleum has already resulted in the discovery of more than 400 oil and gas fields north of the Arctic Circle. These fields account for approximately 40 billion barrels of oil, more than 1,100 trillion cubic feet of gas, and 8.5 billion barrels of natural gas liquids. Nevertheless, the Arctic, especially offshore, is essentially unexplored with respect to petroleum.

Check out http://newghas.com. We have a viable and simple plan to reduce oil dependence immediatley and have an effect on oil prices.
