Last Friday, Congressman Ken Calvert of CA 44 became the first US Congressman from California to sign the Pickens Plan Pledge. We hope our other Congresspeople and Senators will soon follow his lead. I am sure Congressman Calvert would appreciate hearing from all 50,310 Pickens Plan Members here in California. Congressman Calvert is also a cosponsor of HR 1835. THANK YOU CONGRESSMAN CALVERT !

AB 560 needs to pass:
Assembly Bill 560 would increase the cap on "net metering," which gives solar customers credit on their electric bill for surplus power they transfer to the utility. Currently, a utility is not obligated to sign net-metering contracts once solar power equals 2.5 percent of its peak electricity demand, a level PG&E is approaching. AB 560 would quadruple that cap, to 10 percent.

Please spread the word and take action by calling your Representative - requesting the bill be passed. Thanks!

I would like to do that, too, but the money flow starts at the top, and only after those people have secured their jobs, does any of it flow down. We have to START by getting exactly this kind of work done.
THEN we can start correcting the mess. Won't happen until then.

That's reality. That's why Boone has been pushing so hard for political action. I think we are making progress. BIG progress! How many times in this kind of situation have you seen it take YEARS to get something like this even initiated?
Personally, my congratulations to all of us. We are making a difference.

Great Lee! Now if we can only get the plastics industry to switch to Coal (an abundant native-American resource), and fund MASSIVE Solar installations & Smart Grids, then we can turn all this mess around in just a few years.

I don't know about you, but I am ready to START WORK NOW (not just 'legislate' it).

PAYING JOBS: NOT PAPERWORK

TODAY: NOT TOMORROW

Delete Comment Excerpt from a recent letter from Congressman Gene Taylor, MS:


HR 1835 was introduced in Congress at the beginning of April and encourages investments in natural gas. The act specifically would amend tax code to allow several tax credits for the production of natural gas fuel and production of vehicles fueled by natural gas. The act would also require all new vehicles purchased or placed in service by the U.S. government by 2014 be capable of operating on natural gas.


BY 2014 ALL GOVERNMENT VEHICLES TO BE CAPABLE OF OPERATING ON NATURAL GAS!!!!!

Now just how great is that for our goals? Can each of you envision communicating with your representatives supporting this bill?

I am looking for a job in the New Energy movement in California (anywhere IN this great State). Willing to take low-wages in exchange for potential career-growth**.
I have EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, not too proud to admit to wanting to learn more, and VERY willing to start at the bottom again, if it means restoring American Independence.

*** (Yes, I want to take Jobs FROM Illegals! How's that for a switch?)

So, we have the technological knowledge to immediately begin implementing renewable-energy power capture or generation, but not the manufacture infrastructure.
We have MILLIONS (many more than broadcast media declare, or may not even be aware of...) of UNDER-employed, early-retirees, or UN-employed American workers... who just need jobs, training (mostly OJT), or just a place to conduct business.

SO WHAT'S THE HOLDUP?

CNG. ..

Yep it's a petrofuel but it pollutes less.
It cleans the air compared to current fuel so we can meet these reduction goals.
BUT IT'S A PETROFUEL!!
It's still non-renewable!!
Well yes but it's ran in plumbing and pumping equipment just like Hydrogen..
This will lead to investment in the distribution system and when we run out of CNG all of the pipes and equipment will still be around to use for Hydrogen.
HYDROGEN??!?
That's twenty years away!
Thats not worth it, you have to do something NOW!


It takes a generation. ..

Having lived at Lake Folsom, and owned property in Shingle Springs, I still have pleasant memories of the Sacramento Area. What a marvelous job you are doing out of Northern California. Look forward to receiving your email updates.

Best regards,
