Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Al, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.

BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.

They said it will go 40 miles before the gas motor kicks in and takes over. The CEO of GM said they tried to make an electric in the 90's but it didn't sell. He didn't mention that they NEVER tried to sell the car and it was only in one market, i.e. ---LA. So there you have it, it must be true because GM says so.

Recently the Texas lawmakers allocated 4.3 billion to build High Tension lines
Between the wind farms and the major metropolitan areas.

Could the infrastructure required for the ETT, carry this electricity?
Daryl have you seen the DVD titled,"Who Killed the Electric Car?"

Yes, ETT can be used to transport power -- and do so without wires (however it would also require moving mass one way at the same time. ETT can transport energy kinetically, the electric power is used to accelerate a stream of capsules laden with water grain or coal for instance up to high rates of speed, then the capsules coast through the vacuum, when they arrive at the destination where the power (and commodity) is needed, regenerative braking transfers the kinetic energy back into electrical energy to the grid. The empty capsules take much less energy to send back resulting in net transfer of electrical energy without wires. The losses (mostly in the linear motor and linear generator) are about half of typical power line transmission losses.

I have seen the DVD you refer to. Having worked for an EV manufacture in the 80s, and knowing many of the issues with EVs, I was less than impressed with the objectivity.

Our patented transportation system is maglev, and it can be built for about 1/12th the cost per mile as maglev trains.
