However today I sent a letter to Boone asking for his help in locating a Commercial wind turbine for an Community College here in Oregon that trains students to become wind energy technicians...

This is the letter:

Dear Mr. Pickens,

I am the Second Congressional District chairperson for your group here in Oregon. I have a webpage based on using renewable energy resources for economic development for my area. A Community College here in Oregon has a program educating its students to be wind turbine technicians.. The turbine they have now is over 20 years old and outdated. Vestas has donated a hub to the college but they need to update the rest of the systems and have a small grant to help cover some costs of getting a newer machine.


They are looking for something that has perhaps been damaged somehow that might still be serviceable for their educational purposes that they could buy or that would be donated to them....



Kind of a long shot, but thought you might like to be involved in finding that turbine.. It would be some great publicity for the Pickens Plan if we could be of assistance.



Sincerely,

John R Cogar


If anyone here has any information about locating a turbine please contact me at jc@sustainablelakecountyoregon.com

Our company Kite For Sail is developing mechanical systems to control kites and reduce fuel consumption.

Hydropower has proven as a clean and somewhat environmentally friendly resource. There are hundreds of large and small-scale hydropower projects throughout the nation, each contributing to the grid. In one sense, an immense wind generator project mirrors and complements hydropower energy.

Naturally, both face many issues and there are many important lessons that have been learned from the recent history of hydropower projects. You can read about one of these issues in an article about our Nation's Energy Policy here.

Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT)™ is patented transportation technology requiring 1/50th of the energy of trains, cars or planes; it is cleaner, lower cost, safer, faster, and electric.

ETT Technology
Earth orbits at 67,000 mph without friction. ETT works like “Space Travel on Earth” ™. With ETT, air is permanently removed from 2 tubes (one for each direction) along a travel route. Since there is no air in ETT tubes, the passenger capsules are pressurized (like a 6 person biz jet cabin), and travel in the tubes on nearly frictionless maglev; so travel takes place without air friction or rolling resistance.
Airlocks allow access without letting air in the tube. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules (preferably with renewable energy). During most of the trip, the capsules coast through the vacuum using no power. When the capsules brake, linear generators recover most of the acceleration electricity.
Depending on distance, ETT speed can be up to 350 mph for in state trips, to 4,000 mph for international travel that will take you from D.C. across the Bering Strait to Beijing in 2 hours at 1/10th the cost of airfare.
ETT is networked as are freeways. ETT capsules (hauling people or a pallet of cargo) are automatically routed non-stop between “off-line” network terminals that are disbursed according to demand (like freeway off-ramps are).
ETT capsules weigh only 400 lbs yet haul 800lbs of people or cargo as the typical SUV; so a twentieth as much guideway material is required to support ETT capsules than to support 200ton trains. This reduction in materials, and use of present automated pipeline production equipment drops cost to less than a tenth the cost of High Speed Rail, and less than 1/4th the cost of a freeway. Because of automated passive switching, a single ETT tube can exceed 80 lanes of capacity, further reducing cost.

Private Model
The ETT Patent is assigned to et3.com Inc. (et3 stands for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies), an open consortium. An inclusive license agreement offers any entity incentives to participate in the plan to implement ETT using their “off-the-shelf” assets (materials, parts, technologies, skills, labor, and production capacities). Collectively companies have already spent billions developing ETT; although most are not aware of it yet; for instance, hundreds of companies worldwide make and install pipelines (tubes), vacuum pumps, and the electronics to operate them. Everything exists to start building ETT now. ETT is being implemented in China, and Korea.

We believe ETT will help achieve the goals and ideals of the Pickens Plan.

Best regards,

Daryl Oster

Create and supply your own power.
Take a look at our group site Mariah Power. The Windspire is now on display in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Capitol Botanic Garden through October 2008. Units are going up in California, Nevada, and Utah now, and we will very visable and effective throughout Hawaii this year. Mariah will be available worldwide as production increases with the completion of a new plant in Youngstown, Ohio. For more information contact Bill Mollring at : 831 402-2037 mrbillmaui@yahoo.com -
