Pushing - - on every level - - a strong conservation program should be our # 1 priority; according to RMI (Rocky Mountain Institute) research, doing so we could reduce our oil/energy needs by 30%.
Fact that Washington is not doing this - - just paying a little lip service - - shows how strongly they are under the influence of the wasteful energy industry.
Real proof of this fact is that the present administration informed the coal industry and coal unions that they would not stand in the way of 24 coal strip mining projects - - - SEE WHAT $ 38 MILLION INVESTED IN THE LAST ELECTIONS CAN BUY!
And Washington is apparently also supporting the Hydrogen car - - - highly polluting because the present process of making hydrogen produces lots of polluting CO2. Oh yes, we could make hydrogen with EXCESS solar or wind electricity, but the Loony-Tunes won't acknowledge that WE ARE AT LEAST 30 YEARS AWAY FROM HAVING EXCESS ELECTRICITY.

But that's where each one of us - - WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S ENERGY REVOLUTION - - can play a key role. Spread the word, stop wasting energy, think of how YOU can reduce gasoline consumption, walk short distances instead of taking the car (your unexercised body will thank you for it with better health), turn down the thermostat, and more, and more.
Keep reminding your Washington Bozos about the importance of initiating a strong conservation program; quote them RMI.
And keep pondering this suggestion: DURING THE NEXT ELECTIONS, THROW OUT ALL THE BOZOS!

Our house:

Each one of us can do this. Our return on the money invested in this PV system is 11%.

And don't drink the (by plastic) BPA-polluted water.

Hi Mike. This is awesome! And, you are right, it isn't just natural gas, it is wind, solar, geothermal, undersea currents,biomass, all of it. It all translates into American jobs and American prosperity, versus sending $25 billion each month to Arab, and other oil exporting, nations. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Now if we can just get Congress to see past PAC contributions, and recognize common sense. Unfortunately that seems to be the hard part.

I also agree with Hazel- we need to properly educate and train our future generations, in the sciences, but also to challenge the status quo, and the Big Government/Big Oil/Big Coal alliance.

I work in the US wind industry, and it is difficult to watch foreign competitors take business here in the US because their governments have provided them with the subsidies necessary to gain a competitive advantage, while our Congress has largely stood on the sideline. If the US wants to remain a global economic power, this has to change, and quickly. Time is running short.

Best regards, and thanks to you both,

Bob

Education and training is the way forward to create work, business in the new industries but must be life learning. People need to train their way of thinking and be creative, innovative to move forward into the 21st century and beyond. What we do to day will effect the future generations.

Haynesville film featured in the Houston Chronicle today:

I think that it would be nice if we all had a visual aid to show to people when we try to educate them about the potential of natural gas as a cleaner, abundant, domestic energy source and one which can serve as a bridge to a green energy economy.

I found a documentary film, just released a short time ago, that does all these things. It profiles the lives of people in the Haynesville Louisiana area after the find of massive gas deposits there. It also uses a group of experts in the areas of energy and the environment to flesh out all of the things that we have been saying about natural gas. Many of the comments sound like things Boone has been saying since last year...

I think that one important aspect of this film is that it illustrates how the lives of ordinary people can be enriched, both financially and in a social sense, when our energy dollars are spent here at home.

Yes, the film focuses on Natural Gas but the concepts it illustrates can easily translate to solar or wind energy or the green energy economy in general. Since renewable energy generation as illustrated by the distributed generation model tend to be spread over the whole country rather than being concentrated in specific areas the economic benefits they bring to communities will also be spread out in the same way.

I am thinking that Army members could use the film to hold screenings for their friends/family/governement representatives/community, etc. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and so a film must be worth a million, lol

Many Army members have told me that they don't know what to say to people or things of that nature and a film like this does the talking for you. At the moment I am working to bring the film to Plan members but I thought I would put this up so you can go have a look at the film website and trailer at least.

The release date for DVD sales on the Haynesville film is going to be January 16th and that seems to be a pretty firm date.

I wish that members would have had this film to use last year... I can foresee people using it to have home screenings for friends and family as well as showing it at schools, church and business groups and local and state politicians' offices.

The film will be showing at the Copenhagen Energy Summit as one of the films that were invited to show in conjunction with the Summit. In the film scientists, environmentalists and energy people all say the same things that Boone has been saying since the beginning and it shows how the lives of everyday people have been improved by keeping our energy dollars here at home. All of the good things that happen in the film would never have happened without American energy.

It is time to revitalize our efforts and this film will be a great weapon in our little war against apathy and downright stupidity. Remember, American Energy = American Jobs!

In the few weeks leading up to the film being available on DVD I would like to work to devise a plan for getting the film out in each state. Independent films don't usually get a lot of coverage in the mainstream press so it will be up to grassroots activists like us to make sure that people see it :-)

Was up ?

Comment by John R Cogar, Oregon 2nd. Congressional District Leader on December 4, 2009 at 11:10am

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
