I'm on Linked In and Facebook. They are the best tools to handle one's online contacts.

At Face book I am also saving Brazilian Rain Forests with my friends.

I'd like to meet more PP people at either of the two networks.

The electric car did not look like it fit in to Pickens Plan in anyway....

Dear Pickens Plan friends and members. Partisan politics and lobbyist efforts are slowing down the progress of Pickens Plan and Alternative energy. We need to stand united in our call for a comprehensive energy policy that includes the entire spectrum of alternative, renewable and clean energy sources as well as drilling for oil and natural gas wherever it’s available in our country.

THE OIL COMPANIES ARE LOBBYING TO KILL THIS BILL
Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2008
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax incentives for the production of renewable energy and energy conservation.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-h5351/show
Open Congress Summary:
This bill would repeal roughly $18 billion in manufacturing tax credits for oil and gas companies while extending and increasing tax credits for a wide range of renewable energy programs. It is expected to cause a contentious debate in the Senate, where its chances of being approved are uncertain.

The oil companies made record profits while gasoline prices were the highest ever, they don’t need our taxpayer money too.

I am new to this group but have forty years in the solar energy manufacturing, sales and installation of solar heating and hot water systems including geothermal heat pumps. I no longer manufacture these items but would like to know that if we produce a FREE video on building inexpensive DIY solar hot water collectors, how many of you would be interested? We are also currently building a totally off the power grid micro home, and have an ongoing slide show showing our progress up on the Pickens site.
Thanks,
Walt

Yes, I would. I'd be willing to convert to hydrogen. In fact, this new air compressed car seems like an interesting hybrid.

Mr. Pickens is pleased to visit Salt Lake City, UT to discuss the Pickens Plan. The Pickens Plan addresses the single biggest crisis facing America today: the growing and dangerous dependence on foreign oil. This will be the ninth Town Hall Meeting in a series being held across the country since the Pickens Plan launched on July 8.

My problem with the tax increase is how efficiently the government will use the money. When the government is overly invovled you get levels upon levels of bureaucracy that eats up a lot of the money. I have always believed that the free market and competition will always lead to more efficient results, and effieciency is the name of the game because we need to get moving on the problem as soon as possible. I am all for government grants for research and would be willing to support a tax increase as such. However, if we start talking about more extensive government programs that involve creating more bureaucracy and eventually entitlements and pork projects then I would have to pass. My general feeling is that the government is best off supporting research and offering some tax credits for use of alternative fuels then getting involved in the nuts and bolts of developing new energy sources.

I would rather pay more in taxes and have things paid for than to get tax reductions and put our nation's bills "on the tab" for future generations.
