To Bonnie S. - you mentioned that you know a "land guy" who negotiates leases for pipelines, etc. Have you read the post under the discussion "A Little Help"? A guy there is looking for a "land guy", I think, to help him get a wind farm going on his…
Oh yeah - one other miner that's very attractive (you've gotta do your homework on this one) is Tirex. (They pronounce it TREX - like godzilla...) They're canadian owned, and have the mining rights to ~350 square kilometers! of land in Albania that…
Hi Bonnie. I didn't know AEP had joined up w/TBP. I'm glad to hear it. It seems like a few billion in incentive money from the govt will turn all sorts of folks into willing partners.
As for Obama's moves re: fixing our current mess, I hate that's…
Oh Yeah, Bonnie. I've looked at AEP and they're somewhat compelling, but I don't have any free cash to buy them right now. Don't know nuffin' 'bout NGK, except they made the battery in the motorcycle I owned 20 years ago. It never failed to start...
Hi Bonnie,
Please, oh please don't tar me with the brush of claiming risk free high return investments. I didn't report Jack Sh#$, except to copy the article and say I thought it was fascinating! You've beaten me to the punch, diligence-wise, and I…
Here's a fascinating, but superficial, discussion about non-traditional methods of investing in wind and natural gas energy. The column is from a publication entitled "The Triton - News for the megayacht and superyacht Industry." Presumably, these a…
Hi Bonnie,
I own some First Solar (FRST, I think!), and it did very well from Nov to January, slid off slowly through February, and tanked at the first of March. It's an expensive stock (lately around $120/shr) which makes it very surprising to see…
OK Bonnie - glad to see you back. Are you invested in energy now? Oil, wind, anything else? How're you doing?
Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- No
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Currently designing new home, with goal of self-sustaining, grid-connected design. In my current home, I believe that I was the first person in Elmhurst able to convince the city building code inspector to allow me to use blown foam insulation in the exterior walls during a kitchen remodel (I had to contact the city attorney to get it done...). Familiar with design/installation requirements of multiple energy saving building practices, from geothermal well design to SIP wall erection to solar roofing alternatives, as well as passive design practices.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- I have been a tree-hugger ever since I participated in the ecology club in high school (grad 1975.) Our ecology club held enough newspaper, can and bottle recycling drives to eventually purchase a home in Camden, SC to use as a community recycling center.
On the "non-exciting" side, I believe the plan needs to address concerns of bird kill, which are a significant problem with some wind plants and could have serious implications should the Pickens plan succeed in placing a 1500 mile long belt of windmills across the midwest.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I can't do much - the home I'm designing is to be built in Kewanee, IL, to which I am moving in a couple of months. I have good writing and computer skills, however, and would be happy to receive information from the Pickens team to use in writing an op-ed for one of the major Chicago papers.

Welcome on-board. This is a movement which has to succeed if ever we are going to have our country get back on it's feet. There are numerous groups and subjects to browse on this site. As you have the time, visit some as you may find a focus subject close to your own concerns for solutions.
You have a great day,
Walter
