RI may be the first state in the nation to have Off shore Wind Turbines to produce Eelctricity
1000 new jobs will be created in RI with the company that will be installing the turbines
This is a link to an Article in Thursday 3/19/09 Providence Journal Front Page on the Pickens Plan Forum that I Organized

http://www.projo.com/news/environment/content/T_Boone_Pickens_Plan_03-19-09_23DM2S6_v20.38607ab.html




Can I please submit your name as a supporter of the Pickens Plan? We are trying to gather over 1,000 new supporters from RI before April 1st. I am available to answer any questions you may have.
If other friends or family members support it, will you please include their info as well.

I only need Name, Zip Code and email.


Here is the plan if you would like to see a short video

The Pickens plan is simple and do able. At current gas prices we
spend over 400 billion a year (that we borrow from China) on foreign oil.
(when it was higher, the number was 700 billion, it will be there again
soon enough)
Picken's plan is to:
1. Use American technology and renewable solutions for electricity.
Wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, etc.
2. Use CNG (natural gas) for transportation fuel, especially
trucks, buses and municipal vehicles- almost 40% of our needs as a
country. Batteries currently can not move 18 wheelers. CNG is cleaner and
less expensive than foreign oil, and it is ours!
3. Boone is an "all of the above" guy, as long as it is an American
solution, and the money stays in this country.

I am working with a national effort to gather millions of
supporters to insure that Congress supports our efforts to finally get
this country to be energy independant. Brazil has done it....why can't
we? Cheap oil has gotten us here, but we must finally end it. Our economy
and national security depend upon it.

We could become net exporters of renewable energies and ride this
horse out of the economic trough we are in. We have a very limited time to
make this work. Call it a perfect storm, organized by a titan of
commerce who is leading this historical effort to make sure we get this
right.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Best
Earle
