Folks, I’m so excited to announce Pickens U is finally here! Please feel free to contact me for details.

Pickens U is a new Pickens site specifically designed for students and alumni from colleges and universities across the United States who support energy independence for America.

Outreach on college campuses will be a critical component of our effort to build an Army of 1,000,000 supporters. We plan to mobilize students and alumni of colleges across America to support the Pickens Plan and prepare to take action during the first 100 days of the new Administration.

There are hundreds of college campuses across America, and we are interested in having Pickens Plan chapters on as many of them as possible – from small community colleges to liberal arts schools to prominent institutions to the largest state universities. The key is to find a motivated campus coordinator and an enthusiastic student population – with the right people in place, even the smallest of schools can make a big difference.

http://push.pickensplan.com/collegeMain.php

And best of all, we are in need of Campus Coordinators. This is an exceptional opportunity for a student or alumni to represent their College or University in a leadership role within Pickens Plan New Energy Army.

As a Campus Coordinator you will be responsible for the following:

o Be the public point of contact for their chapter of the Pickens Plan
o Recruit as many students as possible to be supporters of the Pickens Plan, with a particular focus on getting students to join our social networks on Facebook and/or Push.PickensPlan.com
o Host 1-2 events on campus between now and Inauguration Day to raise awareness for the Pickens Plan and recruit supporters
o Assist the New Energy Army regional leader with maintaining chapter webpages on Facebook and Push.PickensPlan.com
o Organize calls to action when we need Pickens Plan supporters from their chapter to contact their elected officials or take other action

The Pickens Plan is a bridge to the future — a blueprint to reduce foreign oil dependence by harnessing domestic energy alternatives, and buying us time to develop even greater new technologies.

Building new wind generation facilities and better utilizing our natural gas resources can replace more than one-third of our foreign oil imports in 10 years. But it will take leadership.

On January 20th, 2009, a new President will take office.

We're organizing behind the Pickens Plan now to ensure our voices will be heard by the next administration.

Together we can raise a call for change and set a new course for America's energy future in the first hundred days of the new presidency — breaking the hammerlock of foreign oil and building a new domestic energy future for America with a focus on sustainability.

You can start changing America's future today by supporting the Pickens Plan. Visit our website at www.pickensplan.com to join us. Email me directly for more exciting news.

I emailed Governor Bredesen about the Pickens Plan. Here is his response:

Thank you for your message expressing your support for the plan that T. Boone Pickens has advanced for a comprehensive alternative energy policy for the United States. I share your interest in solving the issues associated with the cost, availability and environmental impacts of energy. The plan that Mr. Pickens has presented merits very serious attention, and I expect to review it thoroughly.

My administration is already working to produce a well-grounded,
effective and achievable energy policy for Tennessee. To that end, I recently issued an Executive Order establishing the "Governor's Task Force on Energy Policy." The Task Force is charged with identifying:

* Opportunities for state government to lead by example in
energy efficiency and conservation in our state-owned
buildings and vehicles.
* Prospective policies, legislation, regulations or incentive to
encourage statewide energy efficiency and conservation in
public and private sectors.
* Possible public-private partnerships and collaborations to
encourage research and development of clean-energy
technology and to increase the economic development
potential of the state's energy sector.
* Strategies for expanding the use of alternative fuels and
renewable energy resources to support the sustainability of
Tennessee's environment.

Tennessee is positioned to be a leader in the development of regional and national energy solutions that can provide economic and environmental benefits to our citizens. The Task Force is scheduled to deliver its state energy plan to me by December 1, 2008, and I am confident that our state will meet this challenge. I appreciate your comments and your support.

Warmest regards,
Phil Bredesen
