Texans for Energy Independence

A group for Texas residents supporting clean, affordable power and energy independence.

Location: Texas
Members: 997
Latest Activity: Oct 10

Welcome to the Texans for Energy Independence group page. I started this group to connect Texans who share my concern for our energy security. Hopefully by combining our voices we can influence the presidential candidates in this election as well as local politicians here in Texas.

If you have ideas to share for organizing to support the Pickens plan or ways to improve the Texas group please post a comment to the group comment wall or start a forum thread. Please feel free to invite other Texans to join the group.

I have started a list of Useful links for the group. If you have one to add let me know.

Johnny, I got the same reply from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Apparently, she can't give a direct answer to us regarding support for the Pickens Plan. She just doesn't get it that those billions of dollars are wasted when we could spend a good part of that on our own economy creating new jobs here in America. She clearly gives the message that she backs the oil industry. At least she replied to us.

Did you know we have 13 Trillion Dollars sitting in off shore accounts just waiting for the right smart people to access. All we need to do is implement the Fair Tax and bring those Funds back into the American Economy.

Please go to www.fairtax.org and see what you can do about this.

Please Keep me in the Loop!
Im with you 100% anything I can do in my power just call on me.

I have 82 acres in West Texas that is in the wind corridor. If anyone is interested in placing windmills on my property let me know. I own the peaks of two mountains (hills, 4600 ft.). I am not interested in making a bunch of money, if I can pay the taxes ($250/ year) the improvements alone would appreciate my land value. tsalmon05@embarqmail.com

Hi all,

My names John Moats. I'm a huge supporter of the Pickens Plan. Foreign oil will be the death of us yet. I just opened a webstore dedicated especially to Solar and Wind equipment. We have some of the lowest prices in the country. Please check us out at www.terrapinsolar.com Give us a browse if you like what you see please tell your freinds.

I have been surfing around trying to find an idea for a blog story that would bring us another step closer to reaching our goal for Pledge Signers. I know that Mr. Pickens has met & discussed the Pickens Plan with both candidates in detail. In speeches, I keep picking up on terms that are the 'PICKENS PLAN' verbage from both candidates during interviews too. So I know they are getting the point of what we are demanding for from our next President, notice I didn't say "asking for from our next President" ..... that's progress for me!

As I scanned the Web for current news finally arriving on the ABC News Web Site, I clicked on "George Stephanopoulos".
HOLY COW! A STORY!!!

He is interviewing Sen McCain Sunday Morrning Sept 28th, AND the AWESOME FEATURE IS........
we can send in a question we want George to ask Sen McCain! TAAAAA DAAAAAA!!!!!!

It was so easy!
Here's the URL for getting you on George's Page scan down just a little & you'll see it.
Just fill it out, click & it's on George's Desk for tomorrow morning!
Woohooooo!

URL:
http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Politics/story?id=5718166&page=1

Here is the question I sent in:

Senator McCain, I would like to ask, when you win this Election & get into your Oval Office, will you implement an Energy Plan that will reduce our foreign oil dependece by 30% in the next 10 years? Will you be enacting your Energy Plan for this reduction within the first 100 days of your Presidency?
Respectfully, Karen Farrer Pittsburg Texas

Just to give you an idea of how I phrased my own. You can ask ANY question you are wanting an answer for.
I just wanted to hear his answer to the Pickens Plan.

Have a great evening! Im TiVoing George!!
