The Case For Natural Gas Vehicles @ UVM was great. There was a very strong compelling case made for NGV technologies and filling stations in Vermont. The Pickens Plan was there, and is in line with this U.S. conversion to use CNG, Wind and Solar to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. H.R. 1835. Join us Burlington Vermont, and Beyond.

Wind Alternative to Vermont Yankee?
Burlington, Vermont - March 22, 2009

The Vermont legislature will decide whether or not to renew the license for the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant -- but not until next year. In the meantime, the state's largest utilities are looking for alternatives, including wind power, as a potential replacement if the decision on Vermont Yankee is no.

Green Mountain Power Corporation has been interested in wind for several years, beginning with an array of turbines along a ridge line in Searsburg. And now the company is considering an energy future that may include more of it. "We're very interested in in-state wind as well as out of state wind," GMP spokeswoman Dottie Schnure told Channel 3, "and obviously we have to look at the cost of all of those."

Low cost has been the advantage of Vermont Yankee nuclear power. But with the nuclear plant due to close in three years unless its license is renewed, Vermont's largest utilities, Central Vermont Public Service and Green Mountain Power, are looking for potential alternatives. And now, in response to requests for proposals or RFPs, comes one to build a large off-shore wind power project.

Bluewater Wind of Rhode Island uses video from a similar offshore development in Denmark on its web site, Bluewaterwind.com. Company executive Erich Stephens said, "I think it's a great opportunity for Vermont because we're talking about... large amounts of clean, stable-priced energy that could really go a long way to make up what would be lost if they decide not to move forward with Vermont Yankee."

Bluewater Wind has proposed a long term power contract with Vermont that would provide 150 Megawatts. That's not as much power as Vermont Yankee produces, but a significant amount. Schnure of Green Mountain Power says wind, like any other potential source, must be analyzed in terms of its cost, reliability and environmental impact. "I can't talk specifics about any single proposal because there are confidentiality agreements," she explained. "But if you look at offshore wind, it tends to be a very good wind resource, very high quality wind. But the cost of transmitting it and particularly when it's fairly far away from Vermont, the costs of transmitting it are pricey."

An offshore wind project like the one proposed for southern New England between Martha's Vineyard and Block Island would require extensive regulatory review. But depending on what happens with Vermont Yankee's license extension, wind potentially could become a larger piece of Vermont's power puzzle.

On Fox news at 10 PM tonight (Mar 11) there is going to be an item about wind power in Western Mass this evening. I will watch it and hope to find out more info.

Morning All!

PLEASE ATTEND TONIGHT's PANEL DISCUSSION IN PROVIDENCE, RI - we have excellent speakers in a position to help move our region in the right direction!

Earle has put in weeks of hard work, and we need to support him AND PIckens Plan. A strong group will show them we mean business and want RI to move toward energy independance fast, AS WELL as finding out how we can help!

Look forward to meeting you!

Vermont's Air National Guard is planning to build the state's largest solar energy project.

Dear Friends

I have a Plan

Im going to get a little personal about me with you.
I Just finished a Drywall & Paint Job and realized the awesome earning potential I have within my grasp If I had 10 or more people just like me we could increase profits 10 fold maybe more. Im not saying this to soloist anyone or sell anything this is just a possible solution to raise capital to advance our projects like Energy Bonds Green Jobs and promote the best of our best Ideas. For 30 years I have been meeting all my family needs within my means with just the help of my wife.
My thought is this lets all network with one another our jobs what we do best refering one another for work and taking 10% or what ever of the job refered and put 5% into a We the People Account & the other 5% to the one who refered the job.
Mr. Pickens has spent over 50 Million of his own Money, Tell me why we all can't pull together and do this. I think most of us here part of the 77 Million Baby Boomers, I have 10-15 years left in me to sucure our Grandkids Furture.

So what do you think ?
Am I Dreaming :o} Or can we or are we willing. The only Power the Government has over us is what We the people Give them.
I'm really afraid of what I'm seeing where they are going.
