In a review of the true costs of energy generation, Mark Z. Jacobson has released a paper that looks at true cost of alternative energy sources. To do this he looked at how these forms of energy are then used to power vehicles. This is the by far the largest need of energy in our society and it has the largest ecological and environmental impacts of our energy use. His conclusion is that we will need a multi-modal approach but wind energy generation is by far the greenest option. That is followed by concentrated solar collection, that is using mirrors/reflection devices to concentrate the heat of solar radiation to heat a liquid to turn energy turbines. This is exactly the type of research that needs to be done to move us into the future.

Did you deliver a copy of the petition to Obama or McCain's office? Can you deliver a copy on election day? If so, please let me know! We're hoping to get petitions to all candidate's offices (or political party offices) in all 50 states by the end of election day. It's real easy and a great way to get involved.

If you have already delivered a copy of the petition or if you can tomorrow, please drop me a message and let me know.

Thanks,
Micah Lauer
Regional Leader

Hey all,
I have started a invite only group for the 1st congressional district in Washington. My hope are to organize the district so we can with work with our rep, Jay Inslee on matters regarding the Pickens plan. If you are in the 1st, and have not received an invite from me yet, please contact me and I will get one out to you.
Ideally this would be a group where we will be able to potentially meet, but mostly discuss what Inslee is doing and try and affect what he does in relations to Pickens, Alternative energy and Sustainability issues.
