We as a people need to take action!!! Because it is apparent that our lawmakers would rather go on vacation than stay in Washington and address the energy crisis. Mr. Pickens is offering a bold new plan to help solve this crisis. It would help us keep some of 750 billion dollars at home, even if it ends up in Mr. Picken's pocket. He needs the support of each and every American, he is on the job while Congress is at the beach. While Mr. Pickens is offering a plan for wind energy, we should not forget to explore ALL energy alternatives. Drill wherever you can, solar,nuclear,geothermal, we NEED to do it ALL.

Let's send a message to the Government about how we feel.

VOTE!!!!!!!!! NONE OF THE ABOVE and RE-ELECT NO ONE!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for taking the time from your busy Saturday to join us for the first Tulsa area meeting. There were 25 people there, which was a great start!. And special thanks to the presenters: John Miggins, Standard Renewable Energy; Randy Bacon, Native American Founders Consulting; and Mike Abbey, CNG advocate. The discussion was very lively, and got us all thinking about what we will need to do over the next few months. There isn't a lot of time, and we have to enroll a lot of friends, coworkers and family. I suggested that our statewide goals should be 1 million endorsers by the end of the year. With those kind of numbers we can not only influence our elected officials, but create significant demand for wind/solar/CNG products and services. This will be hard work, and will require constant attention from the core group. I look forward to working with you all as we bring T Boone's vision to reality in Oklahoma. Some pix and the meeting highlights are being posted on NE Oklahoma Region Group. For those in the Tulsa area, please join us on Aug 9 for the next meeting.

Greetings Friends,
We all need to thank Mr. Pickens for explaining the energy problem that we as a nation face. Earlier it was one Group (users) pointing fingers at the other Group (suppliers) and vice versa. The problem is real. It was magnified to some extent, in recent times, by speculators. But, the truth is we are importing more oil every year and producing less. We are sending billions of dollars overseas.

I like what Mr. Pickens is preaching but I do not think he has disclosed his Plan. I have read and reread everyhing that is on this web and I have failed to find the Plan.

Let us imagine that you Plan to go to visit your grandmother in a far away city and start to make a Plan. You will decide when to leave from home. How you will travel from home to grandmother's, how you will pay for the travel, what clothes you will take, and also what you will do with your grandmother. Mr. Picken's has told us that he would like to visit his granny because it is good for him to do so that but he has provided no details on how he Plans to accomplish the mission.

His Plan needs to be supplemented by other plans. Mr. Picken's Plan (presently undefined) will not get us to Energy Independence. I request you study the People's petition for Energy Independence .

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/windenergycorporation

It clearly defines where the money will come from, who will collect it, who will spend it and how, what can be expected at the conclusion of 5 and 10 years and also what will happen when we have become Energy Independent. This Plan is not dependent on the whims of the Stock Market or the condition of the Credit markets. The Plan makes investment every year till the goal is avhieved.
Please (a) sign the Petition and (b) forward it to your friends. United we can achieve Energy Independence and avoid this constant financial bleeding of our great nation.
Also, if you want to become an partner in this endeavour let me know how I can contact you. It will be a Labor of Love for a Country that we love. Just think what it would be to be Energy Independent. What it will do to our standard of living. The opportunities it will offer us, our children and grand children.
Thanks.

Regards and Best wishes,

Alankar Gupta

More info on Ground Source Heat Pumps???

Comment by Kyle Rudolph on July 23, 2008 at 4:29pm

I have installed several groudn source heat pump applications in the Tulsa area. The entire Bixby School District is using this to heat and cool their buildings. They are intially expensive but their engineers estimated positive return in as little as 8 years. I am sure that time frame is only getting smaller with each penny our energy costs go up.

I have talked with a few folks, and July 26 looks like it would be a good time for us all to get together and get acquainted. I have reserved a meeting room at the Panera at 71st and Garnett from 1-3PM. If you ant to come a little early and have lunch, I will be there at 11:30.

Since I have absolutely no idea of how many may show up, I told them to expect 10-15. For those who cannot come, this will be just the first meeting. We will schedule the next, possibly in OKC.

I would suggest the following agenda:

* introduce ourselves
* review the PickensPlan to make sure we are all hearing the same thing.
* a little familiarization on what is wind power, CNG for transportation
* ideas on how we can push the Plan
* Next action steps

If anyone has other thoughts let me know.

I am posting this on all the Oklahoma groups so we can get everyone connected.

See you on the 26th.

Phil
