Happy Independence...Energy Independence!
There will be a day when your grandchildren will ask, "What was it like without windmills, Grandma? Tell me about those big smoking trucks you used to drive, Grandpa."

Mr. Pickens has started something we are in support of because we believe in American Liberty. It's what drives us and it's our values that cause others to hate us. We're free, proud and independent and one of the many things that set us apart, is we welcome others to join us. Join us in the liberty to pursue greatness.

We are many; we are one...e pluribus unum - Out of many, one!

The Pickens Plan is about Energy Independence from dictators that hate us for our values of freedom, liberty and justice for all. Together we will take back this country and become one...One nation under God!

Help me bring Mr. Pickens to the airways every week and back to The Green Revolution Show! Want a place to chat with Boone? We can share ideas and hear first hand what the Pickens Army is up to from the Pickens Army. Let Boone know that you want to hear from him weekly and have a opportunity to converse.

Your grandchildren will be asking you, "What was it like being in the Pickens Army and talking to Mr. Pickens, himself?"

Happy Independence, Pickens Army...Energy Independence!

I submit there are two action we need to take: One is to have Congress pass a RSP bill that will start down the road towards energy independant and other in the states is to enacting feed-in tariffs. Tax break don't build wealth or put our people to work. All tax breaks give are potholes in your streets. You must build a market for your products, feed-in tariffs does that. Would you like to earn $250,000 by selling wind energy into the grid or solar from your backyard by installing a 1 MW machine. You could you know! see http://www.buildamericabuild.com

IRSC INTRODUCES RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING
FOR GREEN BUILDING INDUSTRY
Helping Treasure Coast residents launch new green collar careers, Indian River State College is providing new training opportunities in the rapidly growing renewableenergy industry. Starting March 13, IRSC is introducing a series of courses that will enable area residents to prepare for a new career or open a business in installation of solar energy systems. The three courses will prepare students for the Florida Solar Contractors License Exam for installation of solar thermal and solar photovoltaic electrical systems.
Systems installed by a licensed solar contractor qualify the homeowner for a state rebate and Federal Tax credit, which can amount to several thousand dollars, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Because of the rebate and tax credits, individuals who are licensed to install the solar systems will have a competitive advantage in
the emerging green industry. The courses are among the first offerings of the IRSC Energy institute which will also introduce a weatherization course in green strategies for the home.
“With the United States projected to become the largest market for solar power in the world by 2011 and state and national incentives to convert to renewable energy sources, jobs and business opportunities in this field are excellent,” said Dr. Chrys Panayiotou, IRSC Electronics Engineering Professor, who will be teaching the electronics aspects of the courses. “IRSC is moving forward quickly to provide workforce training in emerging fields and help people launch new careers in the green economy.”
The course in Solar Thermal Systems will focus on the installation and repair of solar power for water heating systems, including pool heating. It will meet on Fridays and Saturdays, during the weekends of March 13, 20 and 27 at the Kight Center for Emerging Technologies at the Main Campus in Fort Pierce. A second section of the Solar Thermal course will be offered on Monday through Saturday, March 30 through April 4.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems will examine how these systems generate electricity from solar cells. Students will learn how to determine the size of a PV system needed for Page 2 - IRSC INTRODUCES RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING FOR GREEN BUILDING
INDUSTRY various applications and how to install and connect the PV system to the electrical grid. This
intensive hands-on course will meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturdays from May 5 to 16 at the Main Campus. A second course in Solar PV Systems will be offered during the week of June 15, Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The third course in the series will cover Florida Construction Law to prepare students for the Florida Solar Contractor’s Licensing Examination.
Weatherization: Green Strategies for the Home will help homeowners protect their property from the elements and save money by reducing energy consumption. The $36 course will meet on Monday and Wednesday mornings on March 16 and 18 at the Blackburn Educational Building at the R. Duke Nelson Human Resources and Development Centre in Fort Pierce. The course will also be offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings,
March 23 and 25, at the IRSC carpentry lab at the Main Campus.
