To the Pickens Plan Army, especially the OH-17 Group:

Once again, we should be proud of, and grateful to, our Congressman Tim Ryan, who has signed on as a co-sponsor of HR 1835, commonly called The Natural Gas Act of 2009.

Tim Ryan has been on the leading edge of our nation's efforts toward technology development and a sustainable energy policy. Serving on the House Appropriations Committee, Tim Ryan worked on the “Stimulus Bill,” with its investment in energy that was supported by the Pickens Army earlier this year.

Tim Ryan is working with his colleagues in our neighboring Congressional Districts, including Jason Altmire (PA-4) & John Bocceiri (OH-16) & Charlie Wilson (OH-6) to develop a Cleveland-to-Pittsburgh “Tech Belt.” Our delegation of legislators have been working to build a regional sustainable energy industry, using wind, solar, geothermal, and LEED-certified “green-buildings.”

Natural gas is another regional solution for our nation’s energy demands, and Tim Ryan is taking the lead as a co-sponsor of HR 1835. Our region is in a unique position to benefit from the development of the massive gas reserves in the Marcellus shale deposits running from the southern tier of New York, through the western portion of Pennsylvania into the eastern half of Ohio and through West Virginia.

V & M Steel is preparing to invest approximately one BILLION DOLLARS to expand its facility in Youngstown to produce the seamless steel pipes needed for gas & oil drilling. Youngstown is strategically located to provide one-day delivery to any location in the Marcellus shale region.

Energy costs are a major obstacle to economic development in this area, according to the Economic Development Action Team of our Regional Chamber of Commerce. Developing local energy production resources is essential to building our regional economy, and Congressman Tim Ryan is working on solutions.

Hi All,

The Newark Advocate printed a letter to the editor submitted from PickensPlan's Ohio Leader (Veronica Gold) and cosigned by myself thanking our US Rep. Pat Tiberi for his support of the Nat Gas Act of 2009.

My mom will be so proud!

If you haven't done so please support the Nat Gas Act of 2009 and contact your Congressional Leadership at http://unhub.com/WrBS. Just fill in the form - PickensPlan does the work!

Okay - not my most brilliant moment. In the middle of my 6 mile run tonight I realized it was Beggar's Night in Johnstown, OH. All the businesses in "downtown" were open passing out candy, families were out with their kids and people where milling about. It dawned on me what a great opportunity I was missing to recruit members for the PickensPlan movement on the Nat Gas Act of 2009.

Won't make that mistake again!

Join Green Energy Ohio for a Clean Energy Network Meeting in Trumbull County on Tue-26-May 7-8:30 pm, in Room 117 of the Kent State University Trumbull Campus Technology Building. The meeting is free and open to the public, especially those interested in sustainability, green building and renewable energy technologies.

Scot Loveland will explain how wind turbines work and what is involved in a typical installation. In addition, Loveland will provide examples of energy savings that can be expected and help attendees determine if small scale wind is appropriate for their situations.

Loveland is in charge of Renewable Energy Projects for Tri-County Tower Service Inc. of North Jackson, Ohio. He is a high school teacher, and developed classroom curriculum based around renewable energy and green building projects.

The company installed their first wind turbine in 2003 and now considers renewable energy projects to be a full-time division of the organization. They offer complete turnkey construction of wind projects and are authorized dealer/installers for several small wind turbine manufacturers. More information about Tri-County’s products and services is available at http://www.tricountytower.com .

A question/answer session will follow the presentation. Also, we will discuss topics for future Trumbull meetings.

For more information about the Clean Energy Network and the Trumbull County meeting, contact Dave Ambrose at 330-647-3666 or ambrose@infohio.org .

I submit there are two action we need to take: One is to have Congress pass a RSP bill that will start down the road towards energy independant and other in the states in enacting feed-in tariffs. Tax break don't build wealthy or put or people to work. All tax break give are potholes in your streets. You must build a market for your products, feed-in tariffs does that. Would you like to earn $250,000 by selling wind energy into the grid or solar from your backyard by installing a 1 MW machine. You could you know! see http://www.buildamericabuild.com
