TODAY...The nation's most important leaders in energy reform are gathering with T. Boone Pickens at the National Clean Energy Project Summit to tackle the critical issues of ushering in a new era of renewable energy and ending our dependence on foreign oil. This event will feature a lot of people who know what they are talking about when it comes to energy policy - including John Podesta from the Center for American Progress Action Fund, U.S. Senator Harry Reid, President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Climate Czar Carol Browner, Owens-Corning CEO Michael Thaman, American Electric Power President & CEO Mike Morris, Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope, American Wind Energy Association CEO Denise Bode, Riverkeeper Alliance Chief Prosecuting Attorney Robert Kennedy, Jr. and many others.

Watch the live roundtable discussion on Monday, Feb. 23, at 10:15 a.m. ES

Copy,Paste,and Send to everyone you know.

America is sitting on an amazing untapped wind resource,the wind corridor that stretches from Texas to North Dakota...our population is stabilized but our agricultural lands are devastated from decades of food exports.

with bio-char production as dump load regulation,in conjunction with power storage solutions the wind power capacity can go in at an astounding rate...the wind fixes the soil ,the soil sequesters the carbon and gives life......our entire world is unsustainable as is, and the changes required don't stop there...what will it take to get you out of your arm chair?

Mr.Pickens is out of his....and i'm sure as hell not going to tell him to sit down.

Please go to http://change.gov/openforquestions sign-in or sign-up for an account at Change.gov and ask the administration what they plan to do with regard to energy independence and the Pickens Plan.

Commence Anarchy!!!!

find your place in the future...(any one who thinks someone else is going to do it for them is dead weight)...if nothing else..get the message out.


..Big turbines+big wind = bang/buck. leave the NG in the electrical power pie and promote people powered people transport and community NEV cargo fleets for grid blasting,and pv installations for reduced grid load.use excess capacity as an opportunity to phase out old,non-combined cycle, coal plants. wile phasing in ETT maglev to replace continental flights and interstate traffic.


stop at one consider none = less mouths to feed..(no time for day care or labor/delivery here)

suburban conversion project....suburban basements are reconfigured to earth sheltered green houses for food production..garages become houses with reconstruction leftovers....cold climates get south facing glazings at Latitude +21 degrees...two runs of 6' culvert pipe between basement and garage for thermal transfer.

Hello Wayne
Thanks for your good work.
I would like to invite the members of your group to join the group Wanted Patents, New products and stay informed in all the new developments in Green Energy.
Hope to see you all there. Let's all continue to work together on PickensPlan.

Maglev is a smarter way to say good-bye to oil



22 October 2008



Our economy, standard of living, and national security in the U.S. depend on efficient, effective, and affordable autos, trucks, airplanes, and trains. But rapidly escalating oil prices and America's increasing dependence on expensive oil imports from hostile and politically unstable countries threatens all three. The situation, bad as it is now, will get much worse in the coming years as world oil production declines.



The major mode of transport in the 21st century will be electric autos and trucks, and maglev (Magnetic Levitation). Oil-fueled autos and trucks will become as obsolete as coal-fired trains are today.



Why will this happen?



World oil reserves are running out while demand keeps rising.
There are no practical alternative fuels to oil. Biofuels can meet only a tiny fraction of U.S. transport needs and they drive up food prices. Hydrogen fuel requires impossible amounts of energy to produce it, and has insurmountable safety and security problems. Synfuels from coal and oil shale will greatly increase carbon dioxide emissions, speeding up global warming.
Oil-fueled transport is a major cause of global warming, due to the carbon dioxide emissions from its tailpipes. As the developing world adopts the American lifestyle, global warming will rapidly accelerate, with incredible damage to the environment and human society.
Even though modern maglev was invented by two American scientists - Drs. James Powell and Gordon Danby in the 1960's - the U.S. is behind the curve in the development of electric transport. The federal government started a maglev research program, but dropped it in 1973. However, other countries took up the slack and now lead the world in operating first generation maglev systems.



Japan's first-generation Superconducting Maglev system, which is based on the 1960's inventions of Powell and Danby, has carried over 50,000 passengers and holds the world ground speed record of 361 mph. Japan plans to build a 300 mph maglev line between Tokyo and Osaka that will carry over 100,000 passengers daily. Germany has also developed a first-generation maglev that uses conventional electromagnets rather than superconducting magnets. The maglev train in Shanghai, China, was built by Germany.

President of the Interstate Maglev Project

the bridge to the future seem to be collapsing under the weight of minds chained to boat anchors resembling automobiles (of any kind) A gallon of gas is the equivalent of 500 human hours of labor, so the future may see some changes. Even the lowest-paid worker might baulk at wages of a penny an hour -- when gas is $5 a gallon.

we have "discharged" the plethora of condensed solar energy called oil ,that took millions of years to create under very energy intensive pressures and heat...in the span of a few hundred years( give it up ).....reconfiguring our systems to operate on available ambient is going to require copious amounts of energy from every available resource,and a commitment to frugality(after being given a warning, non human powered"recreational" vehicle operators may be shot on sight )...if your legs work, use them...there are simple machines widely distributed that will allow you to increase your mechanical advantage for transportation purposes (they are called bicycles).....

Reqauntifying energy to a common unit:our current agricultural machine puts food on the plate at an efficiency of ten calories in/ one calorie out..

Oh Yeah......Let's blow more energy improving roads.....obama,you are a fuck head.....

Human powered human transport/Communal cargo NEV's/Maglev-grid host.

Obama is creating a public works project to employ 2 million people improving roads. Another Obama-stated-super-project is taking on Global warming via cutting exhaust pollution, ie NO2, NO3, CO etc... and yet another goal is for us to become energy independent.

The common belief is that this all hinges on the development of better fuel cell technology. The problem with these massive batteries is that they are extremely toxic to the environment.

We should consider creating an electric power grid on major roadways (Freeways) powered by wind or nuclear etc...

An example of this exists in many major cities where gas and desiel busses run on electricity in downtown areas.

There is no need for power storage (Batteries) as when a vehicle leaves the grid it simply reverts to bio-fuel, natral-gas, petroleum etc...

The cost of these crossover vehicles would be borne by the persons and businesses ie... customers with the incentive being publicly available or subsidized fuel. -This aspect could also searve as a massive stimulus for the American automotive industry.

This could reduce exaust emissions and petroleum consumption by 50%, which would satisfy all of the stated goals above.

Looking for input and debate so please share your thoughts,

Gregory

things are happening fast....the wind tech should be sorted in short order.

and hang on to your hats....the new plan is to put in enough Big Wind to Displace Grid Coal !!!!!!!!
