I have investigated the green power switch program with mlgw and TVA from which we
get all of our electricity. please if you get a chance go to www.tva.com and click on
the green power switch program tab and check out residential or commercial if applicable
and see if this is something you may want to add to your utility bill each month. the
only benefit is that you support our power generating giant to build more solar, wind,
methane,
and other renewable energy platforms to produce electricity.
TVA has built 12 wind turbines over in east Tennessee where there is an abundance of wind
which is confirmed on t.Boone pickens wind chart for the united states. we have several
solar installations with one in Memphis at the bridge builders building next to St. Jude
Hospital downtown.(i plan on attending a open house with a guided tour on may 28th in the
late afternoon and check it out, anyone interested in going with me and c.j. let me know)
by the way Linda and i were listening to the 102.3 FM oldies station out of Arkansas and
on the hourly news report the reporter announced a 300 million dollar wind turbine engine
plant in jonesboro, Arkansas. just announced on Friday.
i would think as the aged hydroelectric which the web site says is no longer reliable for
our long term needs that they (t.v.a.) start thinking researching and developing a bigger
position with wind and solar and go and talk to the people whom are already doing this
now not later but right now today in our country.
Linda and i recently attended the first downtown Memphis farmers market
and while i was standing back out of the crowd another guy was doing the same and we
struck up a conversation and i found out he his working on his p.h.d. in flood control
with the Army Corps of Engineers and while talking to him i pitched the idea of floating
hydroelectric barge's that would move up and down with the river stage and actually be a
two-fold generating platform for hydro electric and wind. he thought that it was a good
idea and said there are literally hundreds of locations along the river close to existing
power infrastructure to plug into. they also could be moved into different area's as
dictated by the corps.
he thought they would be interested in harnessing the mighty Mississippi for electric
power. (note: he said 90 million cubic feet of water pass Memphis every second.)
write me back if you like the green power switch program.

I am one of the welcome wagon crew. We are all volunteers. Out of sheer numbers I greet daily I have a paste and copy note.
It is not intended to overwhelm you, just give you a direction and some contacts. I do read every profile page.
We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement.
*************Please, I ask the first sites you visit to get accurate info and articles to see pretty much what the plan is about and where the plan stands, and please come back to these sites often as changes take place regularly. Some are long, please; take the time to get all the details.
On the home page, click on About The Plan ~ Boone Cam ~ Blog - You’ll see the Pie-graph Mechanics.
Our future is focus 1- at this point in time! If not now, When? If not you, WHO?
Mr. Obama has voiced that eliminating the dependence of foreign oil is a top priority.

For our members in other countries [Click here ], to link to the International group.
There is a group for almost everything. The Forums/discussions on this site are many and you’ll probably find something that interests or concerns you. Some are very long and were started months ago. For the ones that concern you, please keep in mind, events are remembered and relayed differently by those commenting, which as we all too well know equals at least three sides to the event.
After you have read the sites I mentioned, if you need anything else to help you, while you help the push, please stop by. I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.
Again, Welcome; Tom
Boone's team has made it so easy - it takes just one minute to forward a simple message to your Senators. PLEASE do it today. Please get the folks in your home, family and office to do the same.
Here is the easy link to our Senators:
