Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

Growing up I powered my room via solar electric panels at age 12. Ever since than I have been interested in alternative energy and ways to use renewable sources.

What excites you about this campaign?

Wind power and reducing our dependency on foreign oil. As a commercial airline pilot I burn thousands of pounds of jet fuel a day. Not because I want to, but it is the only source of fuel available to us with the current aerospace technology. I think we can do better. Or at least reduce its consumption in cars and save what is left for special applications

What do you want to do to help?

Spread the word. Advertise. Apply. Network the airline industry and fellow crew members who are in charge of large amounts of fuel consumption.

Please take a look at the executive summary on my page and join the group "Paradigm Shift Institute". We are in the process of establishing a nonprofit innovation laboratory in Houston Texas dedicated to inspiring young people to pursue technology careers and to the development of the next-generation of strategic technologies to meet our current global challenges. Alternative energy is a major focus of our program.
Right now, we are in need of people willing to sponsor our efforts or to finding sponsorship for us.
We believe this can be the beginning of an effort that can spread to other areas of the country and create a critical mass of new technology ideas and innovative technologists to meet the challenges.

Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Norman

1. The jet that flew on canola oil?
2. The flack that the APA got for wanting to use fuel economy measures?

Check out my solar site: http://www.jointhesolution.com/powertoyou for lots of free info on using solar panels for homes. Also look at www.ases.org for more solar.
